Weaver 48330 Multi-Slot Base 97T Black Remington 700 Short Action

The Weaver 48330 Multi-Slot Base transforms Remington 700 short action rifles into precision platforms with secure optic mounting capability. This tactical-grade rail system eliminates the guesswork of scope positioning while maintaining zero retention shot after shot.

What Makes This Different

Unlike standard two-piece rings that can shift under recoil, this one-piece multi-slot base distributes mounting stress across the entire receiver length. The 97T designation indicates compatibility with Weaver-style rings and tactical accessories, while the precision-machined aluminum construction weighs significantly less than steel alternatives. Each base undergoes CNC machining to maintain strict tolerances of ±0.001 inches across all mounting surfaces.

Key Features

• One-piece aluminum construction eliminates ring alignment issues
• Multiple cross-slots accommodate various ring positions and accessories
• Matte black hard-anodized finish resists corrosion and glare
• Direct bolt-on installation to Remington 700 short action receivers
• Compatible with Weaver and Picatinny-style rings and mounts
• Precision-machined surfaces ensure consistent scope alignment
• Low-profile design maintains rifle balance and handling characteristics

Field testing demonstrates this base maintains zero retention through temperature extremes from -20°F to 140°F. The multi-slot design allows shooters to position scopes for optimal eye relief while accommodating both hunting and tactical applications. Competition shooters benefit from the repeatable mounting system when switching between different optics configurations.
