jro45 If I had a base in pkg. I wouldn't be asking this question. If I had the base AND a 725 in front of me I wouldn't be asking either. Let me go into detail: A friend has a LA 725. He wants to change to the Leopold base but he lives approximately 40 miles from where I know they sell 700 bases. He has no internet access,I do. He is looking to me to provide an answer before he drives 80 miles round trip,maybe for naught. I don't know if the hole patterns line up;I have five 700's but no experience with 725's so my very simple question still stands.
