The Weaver #36 Top Mount Base is a precision rifle scope mount engineered for shooters who demand rock-solid accuracy without compromise. This gloss-finished base pairs with Weaver detachable rings to create a mounting system built to handle the punishment of rifle recoil while maintaining zero through thousands of rounds. If you're mounting glass on a bolt-action rifle—whether you're hunting at distance or ringing steel on the range—a quality scope base is non-negotiable, and Weaver's design philosophy has earned trust across generations of American hunters and marksmen.
What sets this base apart is the engineering: Weaver machines each base to exacting tolerances, ensuring a custom fit without wobble or play. The square-cut notch geometry locks precisely to the cross bolt in every Weaver ring, creating a rigid coupling that resists the lateral forces that loosen inferior mounts. That attention to detail means your zero stays your zero, even after hard use in the field or repeated shooting sessions at the bench.
The #36 fits a wide range of rifle actions—from classic Remington 700s and short-action magnums to Mossberg hunting rifles, Weatherby Vanguards, and other popular platforms. Before ordering, verify your specific rifle model and action length (long action vs. short action) against the compatibility list to ensure the correct fit for your firearm.
