The Weaver Tactical Extended Multi-Slot Picatinny Base for Savage Target Short Action rifles brings precision mounting to one of the most popular target platforms. Built from 6061 T6 aluminum and finished in matte Type III hard coat anodize, this 20 MOA base is engineered for shooters who demand elevated accuracy and the room to dial in long-range shots. The 20 MOA cant gives you extra vertical adjustment travel in your scope—essential if you're pushing distances or working with high-magnification optics where MOA elevation matters.
What sets this base apart is its extended length design: that extra inch of forward mounting real estate lets you position your optic further ahead on the receiver, improving sight radius and giving you flexibility with ring placement. It's compatible with both Picatinny and Weaver-style rings, so you're not locked into one ecosystem. An integral recoil lug keeps everything solid under recoil, while the hardened Torx screws won't slip or strip—important details when your accuracy depends on a rock-solid platform.
If you're running a Savage Target Short Action and have outgrown a standard base, or you're building a precision rifle and need that extra MOA and mounting flexibility, this is worth a close look. It's the kind of component that doesn't grab headlines but makes a real difference when you're dialing in at distance.
