Weaver 48504 Top Mount Base 61M Matte Black - Sako/Savage/Tikka

The Weaver 48504 Top Mount Base delivers rock-solid scope mounting for Sako Winter Hunter, Savage 10/110, and Tikka rifles. This precision-machined base transforms standard factory receivers into reliable optics platforms that maintain zero through thousands of rounds.

What Makes This Different

Unlike flimsy factory mounts, the 48504 features steel construction with exact tolerances that eliminate flex and movement. The matte black finish resists corrosion while reducing glare during critical shots. Weaver's proven 61M design has secured scopes on hunting rifles and precision platforms for decades, earning trust through consistent performance rather than marketing claims.

Key Features

• Steel construction handles heavy recoil from magnum cartridges without shifting
• Matte black finish prevents rust and eliminates scope reflection
• Compatible with Sako Winter Hunter, Savage 10/110, and Tikka action patterns
• Standard Weaver rail accepts rings from multiple manufacturers
• Precision-drilled mounting holes align perfectly with factory receiver holes
• Low-profile design maintains clean rifle lines and reduces snag points
• Heat-treated steel withstands temperature extremes from -40°F to 150°F

Field performance separates quality mounts from budget alternatives. The 48504 maintains scope alignment through rapid temperature changes, heavy recoil, and rough handling that destroys inferior bases. Hunters report consistent zero retention after airline travel, while precision shooters depend on this base for competition accuracy. The corrosion-resistant finish survives harsh weather conditions that cause cheaper mounts to fail.
