Burris Xtreme Tactical 1-Piece Base Matte for Howa 1500 Short Action, 0 MOA
The Burris Xtreme Tactical 1-Piece Base is a solid-steel mounting platform built specifically for Howa 1500 short-action rifles. One-piece construction keeps everything in rigid alignment—no flex, no play, and no surprises when you need dependable repeatability. This matte-finish base ships at 0 MOA, making it ideal for shooters who want a flat, level platform to build their scope setup from zero.
Machined from a single block of steel, the Xtreme Tactical base delivers the strength that precision shooters demand. Whether you're zeroing a hunting rifle, dialing for distance at the range, or building a tack-driver for competition, a one-piece platform eliminates the weak points that split bases can introduce. It's the kind of engineering you feel the moment you clamp it down.
Compatibility is straightforward: the base accepts any Weaver or Picatinny-style scope rings, giving you complete freedom to choose the rings and scope setup that fits your mission. That flexibility, combined with solid construction, makes the Xtreme Tactical a no-nonsense choice for Howa 1500 short-action owners who refuse to compromise on accuracy.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this base work with my Howa 1500 rifle?
Yes—this base is engineered specifically for the Howa 1500 short-action. If you own a long-action version, you'll need a different mount.
What scope rings do I need?
Any standard Weaver or Picatinny-compatible rings will work. The base itself does not include rings, so you can choose the height, style, and brand that best suits your scope and rifle setup.
What does 0 MOA mean?
The base is mounted at a flat, level angle with no built-in upward tilt. This gives you a neutral platform—useful if you're starting from scratch or prefer to dial elevation entirely through your scope rather than using a canted base.
Is the base all I need to mount a scope?
The base is one component. You'll also need Weaver or Picatinny rings to hold your scope. The base and rings work together to create your complete mounting system.
