TAPCO TAP22043 Ruger 10/22 Scope Mount Base 0 MOA Weaver Style

The TAPCO TAP22043 scope base transforms your Ruger 10/22 into a precision platform by replacing the factory grooved receiver with a solid Weaver-style mounting system. This zero MOA base maintains your rifle's natural point of impact while providing the rock-solid foundation needed for consistent accuracy with optics.

What Makes This Different

Unlike factory grooved receivers that can allow scope movement under recoil, this machined aluminum base creates a rigid connection between your optic and rifle. The zero MOA design keeps your scope at the same elevation as your bore axis, maximizing available adjustment range in your scope's turrets. Four precision-machined screw holes distribute mounting stress evenly across the receiver.

Key Features

• Zero MOA cant maintains natural point of impact and maximizes scope adjustment range
• Machined 6061-T6 aluminum construction for lightweight durability
• Standard Weaver/Picatinny rail spacing accepts all compatible rings and mounts
• Four-screw mounting system distributes stress across receiver
• Direct replacement for factory grooved receiver - no gunsmithing required
• Matte black anodized finish resists corrosion and reduces glare
• Compatible with all Ruger 10/22 variants including carbine and takedown models

This base excels in applications requiring repeatable zero retention, from precision target shooting to small game hunting. The rigid aluminum construction eliminates the flex common in factory plastic trigger guards with integrated scope mounts. Competitive shooters benefit from the consistent return-to-zero when removing and reinstalling optics for cleaning or transport.
