The Weaver 48085 Top Mount Base delivers rock-solid scope mounting for Browning Model 52, 52C, and A-Bolt rifles. This precision-machined base transforms your rifle into a versatile platform capable of accepting any Weaver-style rings and scopes. Built from aircraft-grade aluminum with a matte black finish, it maintains the classic lines of your Browning while adding modern optics capability.

What Makes This Different

Unlike generic universal bases that require modification or shimming, the Weaver 48085 features rifle-specific machining that matches the exact receiver dimensions of Browning 52 series and A-Bolt actions. The integrated recoil lug system distributes heavy magnum recoil across the entire receiver length rather than concentrating stress at mounting points. This design maintains zero retention through thousands of rounds while preventing scope creep that plagues inferior mounting systems.

Key Features

  • Precision-machined for Browning 52, 52C, and A-Bolt receivers with no gunsmithing required
  • Aircraft-grade 6061-T6 aluminum construction with Type III hard anodizing for corrosion resistance
  • Integrated recoil lug distributes magnum cartridge forces across entire receiver length
  • Standard Weaver rail accepts all Weaver and Picatinny-compatible rings and accessories
  • Matte black finish matches factory Browning receiver coloring
  • Steel mounting screws included with proper thread pitch and length
  • Low-profile design maintains classic rifle aesthetics
Field testing demonstrates consistent zero retention across temperature extremes from -20°F to 140°F, making this base suitable for everything from Alaska caribou hunts to Texas hog control. The hard anodized finish resists scratching from scope ring installation and removal while providing excellent corrosion protection in humid environments. Competition shooters report maintaining sub-MOA accuracy through 2,000+ round count barrels when paired with quality rings and optics.
