The Ruger 90329 Scope Base Adapter transforms the standard tip-off grooves on Ruger 10/22 rifles and 22 Charger pistols into a versatile Weaver-style mounting platform. This precision-machined adapter eliminates the limitations of factory grooved receivers, providing a rock-solid foundation for modern optics and accessories.
What Makes This Different
Unlike basic scope rings that rely on spring tension in factory grooves, this aluminum adapter creates a true Weaver rail system with positive mechanical retention. The low-profile design maintains the sleek lines of the 10/22 while adding tactical versatility. Factory-direct engineering ensures perfect fitment without gunsmithing or permanent modifications to the receiver.
