The Weaver #S36 Grand Slam Top Mount Base is a rear-mount scope base built to bridge optics and rifle receiver on dozens of classic and modern bolt-action platforms. If you're mounting a scope on a Remington 700 (long or short action), Weatherby Mark V or Vanguard, Mossberg 1500/1550/1700, Howa 1500, or any of the other compatible actions listed in Weaver's extensive compatibility chart, the S36 serves as the rear half of your two-base mounting system. It's steel construction designed for strength and durability in the field.
This rear base pairs with a front base—typically the S35, S40A, S46, or S402, depending on your specific rifle—to create a complete mounting platform for virtually any scope. The matte finish resists glare and blends with most modern rifle stocks and receivers. It's a straightforward, proven solution for hunters and shooters who need reliable scope mounting without complications.
Because the S36 is a rear base only, you'll need to confirm both your rifle model and the matching front base (consult Weaver's compatibility list or contact Bosque Outdoors) before ordering. Once paired correctly, these bases provide the solid foundation serious hunters and range shooters depend on for consistent zero and reliable scope retention season after season.
