The Weaver 48062 Top Mount Base transforms Remington 740, 742, and 760 rifles into precision optics platforms. This machined aluminum base provides a rock-solid foundation for scopes while maintaining the rifle's sleek profile and quick handling characteristics.
What Makes This Different
Unlike generic mounting solutions, the Weaver 48062 features rifle-specific machining that matches the exact contours of Remington 740/742/760 receivers. The precision-fit design eliminates movement under recoil while distributing stress evenly across the receiver. Standard Weaver-style cross slots accept rings from multiple manufacturers, providing versatility without compromising strength.
Key Features
- Machined from 6061-T6 aluminum alloy for maximum strength-to-weight ratio

Field performance remains consistent across temperature extremes and heavy recoil cycles. The anodized surface withstands harsh weather conditions while the aluminum construction resists thermal expansion that can affect zero retention. Hunters appreciate the quick target acquisition possible with properly mounted optics, while the base's strength handles magnum cartridges without shifting.
