The Ruger 90226 Scope Base Adapter transforms standard tip-off grooves into a versatile Weaver-style mounting platform for Ruger 10/22 and 96/22 rifles. This precision-machined aluminum adapter eliminates the limitations of factory grooves while maintaining the rifle's sleek profile. Shooters gain access to a broader selection of optics and mounting accessories without permanent modifications to their firearm.
What Makes This Different
Unlike basic tip-off rings that limit optic choices, this adapter creates a standardized Weaver rail interface. The silver anodized finish matches factory Ruger components while providing enhanced corrosion resistance. Precision CNC machining ensures consistent rail spacing and height, delivering repeatable zero retention across multiple optic swaps. The low-profile design maintains proper scope height for comfortable cheek weld.
