The Weaver 48428 Top Mount Base provides a rock-solid foundation for mounting optics on BSA, Colt, and Remington firearms. This precision-machined base transforms standard grooved receivers into versatile platforms ready for scopes, red dots, and other optical equipment.
What Makes This Different
Unlike generic mounting solutions, the Weaver 48428 features the proven 40A profile specifically engineered for proper scope alignment and maximum strength. The matte black finish resists corrosion and eliminates glare that could compromise shooting position. Each base undergoes rigorous quality control to ensure consistent dimensions and reliable performance across thousands of mounting cycles.
