The Tapco Tap22044 10/22 scope base is a cant-corrected mounting solution purpose-built for Ruger 10/22 rifles. If you're setting up a rimfire for distance shooting, hunting, or precision plinking, a 20 MOA base gives you the elevation adjustment range to dial in your zero at typical 10/22 ranges without burning through turret clicks. This is the foundation of an accurate optics platform—get it right and you'll spend less time chasing zero and more time shooting.
The 20 MOA cant is integrated into the base itself, so you're not relying on scope turret elevation alone to reach your target. That matters on a 10/22, where factory iron sights and standard flat bases can limit your practical shooting distance. Pair this base with a quality scope and you've got a rimfire rig that'll perform at distance.
Tapco bases are designed for hunters and shooters who want repeatable accuracy without complicated gunsmithing. Installation is straightforward on any 10/22 with a standard dovetail, making this a no-fuss upgrade for shooters ready to move beyond irons or upgrade an existing setup.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this 20 MOA base fit my Ruger 10/22?
Yes—the Tap22044 is specifically designed for Ruger 10/22 rifles with standard dovetail mounting. Verify your 10/22 has the dovetail and isn't a variant that uses different mounting.
What does 20 MOA mean and why do I need it?
MOA (minute of angle) refers to angular adjustment. A 20 MOA base tilts your scope mounting point to give you more elevation range without exhausting your scope's turrets. This is especially useful on rimfire rifles where you want to shoot accurately at longer distances with a compact scope.
What scope can I use with this base?
The Tap22044 is a base only and accepts any scope with standard rings that fit your choice of mount diameter (typically 1-inch for 10/22 setups). Confirm your scope and rings are compatible before purchase.
Do I need a gunsmith to install this base?
Most shooters with basic tools can install a dovetail base on a 10/22. If you're unfamiliar with firearm work, we recommend having a qualified gunsmith handle installation to ensure proper fit and safety.
