The Weaver 48069 Top Mount Base 63B transforms flat-top rifles into precision shooting platforms by providing a solid foundation for scope mounting. This machined aluminum base creates the essential interface between Marlin and Mossberg Western Field rifles and modern optics systems. Built to withstand heavy recoil cycles while maintaining zero retention.
What Makes This Different
This top mount base features precision-machined mounting surfaces that eliminate the play and movement common in factory drilled and tapped holes. The 63B configuration provides optimal eye relief positioning for most standard rifle scopes. Unlike generic bases, this model includes specific relief cuts and contours engineered for Marlin and Mossberg Western Field receiver profiles.
