The Weaver #35 Top Mount Base Matte is a precision aluminum scope mount designed for shooters who demand a secure, no-nonsense foundation for their optics. This single-piece top mount base provides the rigidity and repeatability you need whether you're building a hunting rifle, range gun, or tactical setup. The matte finish resists glare and blends with most modern firearm aesthetics while delivering the durability Weaver has built its reputation on.
Top mounting places your scope base directly atop the receiver, a configuration that works across many firearm platforms and offers genuine mounting versatility. Unlike some designs, Weaver's engineering starts from the bottom of the base architecture, ensuring consistent, predictable clamping force and minimal flex. This rigid construction is critical—loose bases cause zero shifts, missed shots, and wasted range time. The #35 is precision-made to tight tolerances, so once your scope is mounted and zeroed, it stays put.
Installation is straightforward: the base attaches with custom-hardened fastening screws engineered to work with the Weaver system. No guesswork, no improvising with random hardware. The mount is equally simple to remove if you need to swap optics or perform maintenance, making this a practical choice for shooters who maintain multiple setups or run different scopes seasonally.

Frequently Asked Questions
What firearms is the Weaver #35 Top Mount Base compatible with?
The #35 is a top mount base designed to work across many firearm platforms. Weaver manufactures top mount bases for nearly every common rifle configuration, though specific gun model compatibility depends on your individual firearm's receiver. Verify the #35 designation matches your gun make and model before purchase.
Does this base come with screws?
Yes. The Weaver #35 includes custom-hardened fastening screws engineered specifically for secure mounting with the Weaver system.
What's the difference between a top mount and side mount base?
A top mount base attaches directly above the receiver (what you see on many modern rifles), while a side mount attaches to the side of the receiver. Top mounts are more common on contemporary designs and offer straightforward installation and scope removal. The choice depends on your specific firearm's design and your mounting preferences.
Can I remove and remount my scope without losing zero?
The Weaver #35's rigid one-piece construction and precision fasteners are designed to provide consistent, repeatable mounting. Proper installation with the included screws and careful handling during removal will help maintain zero, though rechecking your zero after any remounting is always good practice.
