Weaver TO-22 Tip-Off Adapter Base 48459 for Ruger 10/22 Black

The Weaver TO-22 Tip-Off Adapter Base transforms any Ruger 10/22 rifle into a versatile optics platform. This precision-machined adapter eliminates the need for permanent modifications while providing a rock-solid foundation for tip-off rings and scopes.

What Makes This Different

Unlike generic adapter bases that require gunsmithing or permanent alterations, the TO-22 utilizes the factory receiver grooves for a secure, reversible installation. The adapter's steel construction provides superior recoil resistance compared to aluminum alternatives, maintaining zero shot after shot. This design allows shooters to mount traditional tip-off rings while preserving the rifle's original configuration.

Key Features

• Precision-machined steel construction for maximum durability and recoil resistance
• Direct fit to Ruger 10/22 factory receiver grooves without modifications
• Standard .22 tip-off ring compatibility for versatile scope mounting options

Field testing demonstrates consistent point-of-impact retention across hundreds of rounds, making this adapter suitable for competitive shooting, small game hunting, and precision plinking. The steel construction handles the repetitive cycling of semi-automatic fire without loosening or shifting. Weather resistance testing shows the matte finish withstands moisture and temperature variations common in outdoor shooting environments.
