The Weaver #47 Gloss Finish Top Mount Base is a precision rifle scope base engineered for hunters and shooters who demand rock-solid optic mounting without compromise. Built to exacting tolerances, this Weaver base delivers the repeatable accuracy and durability you need whether you're zeroing for a season or running a training course. The gloss finish resists corrosion and blends seamlessly with classic rifle aesthetics, while the mechanical design—featuring a square-cut notch that locks precisely into Weaver detachable rings—stands up to the punishment of real recoil cycle after cycle.
Weaver bases have been the standard in American rifle mounting for good reason: tight machining tolerances mean zero slop between base and ring, which translates directly to zero shift in point of impact. If your rifle is a Browning A-Bolt, Winchester 70, or one of the other supported models listed below, this base gives you a no-fuss way to attach quality optics and trust them to stay put. The mounting surface is cut to mate perfectly with Weaver's cross-bolt ring design, creating a rigid platform that won't loosen or drift under recoil.
This is a top-mount base—meaning it sits on the receiver with no side mounting—making it the straightforward choice for rifles designed around the classic two-hole pattern. Pair it with Weaver rings and a quality scope, and you've got a mounting system that has proven itself on hunting fields and ranges across the country.

Frequently Asked Questions
What rifles does the Weaver #47 base fit?
The #47 fits Browning A-Bolt, A-Bolt 22, Stalker Medallion, BBR LA/SA, Cooey 71, Enfield (cut down like a Winchester 70), Marlin MR7, Sears 53, and Winchester 70 LA, 300 Magnum, 70 SA, 670, and 770 models (rear position, unless otherwise noted as front & rear). Always verify your specific rifle model and generation before ordering.
Can I use this base with any scope ring system?
The Weaver #47 is engineered to work with Weaver detachable rings, which feature the square-cut notch that mates precisely to this base. Using it with other ring systems is not recommended and may compromise accuracy and safety.
Is this a front or rear base?
The #47 is primarily designed as a rear base for the listed rifles. Some models (Browning A-Bolt and A-Bolt 22 Stalker Medallion) support both front and rear mounting; confirm your rifle's configuration before purchase.
What does gloss finish mean for durability?
Gloss finish provides corrosion resistance and a smooth appearance, though any base should be kept clean and dry. If you're mounting in harsh conditions, inspect regularly for signs of rust or wear.
