Overview
Built for the Browning X-Bolt, this two-piece scope base is intended for hunters who want flexible mounting options while keeping access to the magazine or breech area open. Its machined steel construction and matte black finish give it a straightforward, utilitarian profile, and the fluted design adds a more refined look without changing the basic purpose. The forward base accepts a dovetail ring, while the rear ring uses windage adjustment screws to help with scope alignment during setup. It is a practical choice for bolt-action rifles when you want a mount that supports a clean, adaptable optic installation.

Considerations & Trade-offs
- Two-piece bases leave the magazine or breech area more accessible than a one-piece setup, but they may not suit shooters who prefer a single continuous base.
- The rear ring uses windage adjustment screws, so installation and zeroing can involve more setup than a fixed, no-adjustment mounting system.
- STD rings are designed to match STD 1-piece and 2-piece bases, which means compatibility is tied to that system rather than being universal across all mounting hardware.
- Five different ring heights are available for STD bases, so selecting the right height for your optic is an important step before installation.
