Weaver 48435 Top Mount Base 418M Matte Black CVA Traditions

The Weaver Mounts 48435 Top Mount Base 418M delivers rock-solid scope mounting for CVA and Traditions muzzleloaders. This precision-engineered base transforms single-shot hunting rifles into accurate, long-range platforms by providing a stable foundation for optics mounting.

What Makes This Different

Unlike generic universal mounts that rely on friction alone, the 418M base features machined steel construction with precise tolerances matched specifically to CVA and Traditions receiver dimensions. The matte black finish resists corrosion while eliminating glare that could compromise shot placement. Four strategically positioned mounting screws distribute recoil forces evenly across the receiver.

Key Features

• Machined steel construction rated for heavy magnum recoil loads
• Matte black oxide finish prevents rust and reduces reflective glare
• Four-screw mounting pattern ensures zero retention under recoil
• Standard Weaver-style rail accepts most scope rings and accessories
• Low-profile design maintains proper scope height for cheek weld
• Precision-drilled and tapped holes align perfectly with receiver
• Compatible with CVA Optima, Wolf, and Traditions Vortek models

Field performance centers on maintaining zero shot after shot, even with heavy powder charges that generate substantial recoil. The steel construction handles repeated firing cycles without loosening or shifting. Hunters report consistent point-of-impact with both saboted bullets and traditional conicals at ranges exceeding 200 yards. The corrosion-resistant finish withstands harsh weather conditions during extended hunting seasons.
