Ruger 90175 1-Piece Base for Ruger 96/22 .22 Tip-Off Style, Matte Black Finish

The Ruger 90175 is a 1-piece scope base designed specifically for the Ruger 96/22 rimfire rifle. If you're running a .22 with tip-off rings and want to upgrade to a modern optic—or simply need a reliable replacement base—this matte black aluminum mount delivers the precision fit your rifle deserves. Tip-off mounts have their place, but a solid, dedicated base gives you the repeatability and confidence that matters whether you're training, hunting small game, or fine-tuning your .22 at distance.

Built from aluminum and finished in matte black, this one-piece design integrates directly with your Ruger 96/22's receiver, offering a clean, streamlined platform for scope rings and modern optics. The rigid construction eliminates the flex and shift that can creep in with older ring systems, giving you the rock-solid foundation a quality scope needs to perform.

Installation is straightforward for anyone comfortable with basic gunsmithing. Whether you're setting up your first precision .22 or refreshing a classic rifle, the 90175 base is the kind of no-nonsense accessory that disappears once it's mounted—it just works, quietly doing its job.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this base fit my Ruger 96/22?

Yes, the Ruger 90175 is engineered for the Ruger 96/22 .22 rimfire rifle and mounts directly to the receiver.

What's the difference between tip-off bases and traditional scope bases?

Tip-off mounts allow you to quickly swing a scope out of the way, which is useful for backup iron sight use. However, a dedicated one-piece base like the 90175 offers superior rigidity and repeatability for optics that need to stay mounted and zeroed.

Can I use this with any scope rings?

The 90175 is a tip-off style base, so you'll need tip-off scope rings designed for that mounting system to complete your setup.
