The Weaver 48453 Top Mount Base 418S delivers rock-solid scope mounting for CVA, Traditions, and Winchester muzzleloaders and break-action rifles. This precision-machined aluminum base transforms your rifle's receiver into a stable platform for modern optics.
What Makes This Different
Unlike generic mounting solutions, the 48453 features Weaver's proprietary 418S configuration specifically engineered for break-action rifles. The silver anodized finish resists corrosion while maintaining a clean appearance that complements stainless steel barrels. Four robust mounting screws distribute stress evenly across the receiver, preventing scope shift under heavy recoil.
Key Features
- Weaver-style cross slots accept standard 1-inch and 30mm rings
- 6061-T6 aluminum construction with Type III hard anodizing
- Compatible with CVA Optima, Wolf, and Accura series rifles
- Fits Traditions Vortek, Pursuit, and Buckstalker models
- Works with Winchester X-150 and similar break-action designs
- Four #8-40 mounting screws included for secure installation

Field performance remains consistent across temperature extremes and hunting conditions. The 418S base maintains zero through repeated barrel opening and closing cycles, critical for muzzleloader hunting where quick follow-up shots may be necessary. Hunters report reliable scope retention through seasons of heavy use, including transportation in ATV scabbards and rough terrain hiking.
