Weaver #46 Top Mount Base Matte - Precision Fit for Optics

The Weaver #46 top mount base is a lightweight aluminum scope mounting solution designed to securely attach your optics to rifles, shotguns, and long-range handguns. Built for reliability and precision, this base offers a solid platform for both modern and classic firearms, making it a go-to choice for hunters, competition shooters, and range enthusiasts who demand dependable mounting hardware. The matte finish resists glare and blends with typical rifle aesthetics.

Unlike one-piece integrated systems, the #46 operates as an individual base component—you'll need both a front and rear base to complete your mount setup. This modular approach gives you flexibility to space your rings and rings positions exactly where you need them for your specific optic and rifle configuration. Weaver's top mount design is straightforward to install and works with standard Weaver-compatible rings and optics.

Aluminum construction keeps weight to a minimum without sacrificing rigidity, important whether you're glassing from a stand, shooting across a prairie, or dialing in at the bench. The matte surface treatment also helps prevent unwanted reflections in bright conditions. If you're upgrading an older rifle or setting up a new one, the #46 has earned its place as a reliable, no-nonsense mounting base across countless gun models.
