The Ruger 90175 Scope Base Adapter transforms the factory grooved receiver on Ruger 96/22 and 96/17 rifles into a versatile Weaver/Picatinny-style mounting platform. This precision-machined adapter eliminates the limitations of tip-off scope rings and provides a rock-solid foundation for optics mounting.
What Makes This Different
Unlike basic tip-off rings that can shift under recoil, this aluminum scope base creates a rigid connection between optic and receiver. The adapter maintains consistent zero through thousands of rounds while allowing for easy scope removal and remounting. CNC-machined construction ensures perfect alignment with the receiver's factory grooves.
