Weaver 48443 Top Mount Base 423M Benelli Nova Matte Black Finish

The Weaver 48443 Top Mount Base 423M transforms your Benelli Nova shotgun into a versatile optics platform. This precision-machined aluminum base provides a rock-solid foundation for scopes, red dots, and other optical accessories without compromising the shotgun's reliability.

What Makes This Different

Unlike generic rail systems that require gunsmithing, the Weaver 423M base installs directly onto the Benelli Nova's receiver using existing mounting points. The base features Weaver's proven cross-slot design that accepts both Weaver and Picatinny rings. CNC-machined from aircraft-grade aluminum with precise tolerances, this mount maintains zero through thousands of rounds while weighing just 2.8 ounces.

Key Features

• Direct bolt-on installation for Benelli Nova shotguns - no drilling or tapping required
• Aircraft-grade 6061-T6 aluminum construction with matte black anodized finish
• Standard Weaver cross-slot configuration accepts 1-inch and 30mm rings
• 4.5-inch mounting surface provides optimal scope positioning
• Precision-machined recoil lugs distribute stress evenly across receiver
• Low-profile design maintains shotgun's handling characteristics
• Corrosion-resistant finish withstands harsh hunting conditions

Field testing demonstrates the 423M base maintains consistent point of impact through extended shooting sessions. The mount's rigid construction eliminates scope shift common with flexible rail systems. Turkey hunters appreciate the low mounting height that preserves natural cheek weld, while deer hunters benefit from the extended rail length that accommodates variable power scopes. The anodized finish resists scratches and corrosion during waterfowl hunts in wet conditions.
