The Weaver 48501 Top Mount Base transforms Remington 700 short action rifles into precision platforms capable of accepting standard Weaver-style rings and optics. This aluminum base replaces factory iron sights with a solid mounting foundation that maintains zero through thousands of rounds.
What Makes This Different
Unlike basic rail systems that add unnecessary height, the Weaver 48501 positions optics at the optimal elevation for natural cheek weld and sight alignment. The machined aluminum construction provides superior strength-to-weight ratio compared to steel alternatives while resisting corrosion in harsh field conditions. Four precision-drilled mounting holes ensure rock-solid attachment to the receiver without flexing under recoil.Key Features
