Badger Ordnance Leupold or Chicom knock off?

[dotrappe]

Picked up a scope base off flea bay this week. Seller claims its a 700 S/A Badger, but i have never seen this style offered. Input would be greatly appreciated.

I am not familiar with everything/style Badger offers but on every Badger product I own is marked with their name

I can't find it under completed items on ebay

I've got a base like that. Is it steel?

I can think of three manufacturers who made them like that out of steel, Weaver (Tactical line), Leupold and Warne.

Old Badger case different rail inside. You can get your money back because item doesn't match description.

Kind of what I suspected... Thanks Culpeper for the heads up!

It looks like an old Leupold Mark 4 base, similar to what was on the M24 SWS.

The slots will match up with a picatinny, but you won't have the versatility of a fully slotted picatinny. I'd get my money back.

What you bought:

Is not what you are showing us.

You lose all the versatility of those slots in between for different optics.

Agree with trigger monkey, looks like the old style Mark 4 base made by Leupold back in the day for Rem 700 SA and the Rem 700 LA as used on the M24. Badger did make a long action version that is similar for the M24, not sure if he made a short action version as well.

did the leupold base have a recoil lug? this one doesn't appear to.

No they didn't have a recoil lug.
