Description

Leupold Back Country Rail Weatherby Vanguard/Howa 1500 L/A 20MOA


The Leupold BackCountry Rail Weatherby Vanguard / Howa 1500 Long Action 20MOA is a lightweight, precision-machined scope mounting base designed to provide a strong and reliable connection between your rifle and optic. Built from high-strength 7075-T6 aluminum, it offers excellent durability while keeping weight to a minimum—ideal for both hunting and long-range shooting setups.

Engineered as a one-piece cross-slot rail, it is compatible with both Picatinny and Weaver-style rings, giving shooters flexibility in optic mounting options. The 20MOA elevation cant helps extend your scope’s adjustment range, making it especially beneficial for long-distance shooting where additional elevation is required.

Designed specifically for Weatherby Vanguard and Howa 1500 long action rifles, this rail ensures a precise fit and consistent alignment. Like all Leupold mounting systems, it is built for reliability and is made in the USA to withstand demanding field conditions.
