Weaver Tactical Extended Multi-Slot Picatinny Base Matte for Winchester Model 70 Short Action

The Weaver Tactical Extended Multi-Slot Picatinny Base for Winchester Model 70 Short Action is a precision mounting solution built for shooters who demand solid, repeatable scope placement. This rifle base extends 1 inch forward compared to standard options, giving you more rail real estate to position your optic exactly where you need it—whether you're shooting a mid-range hunting setup or dialing in a long-range precision rig. The extra length proves especially valuable when you're juggling modern glass with longer eyepieces or want maximum clearance between your scope and receiver.

Machined from 6061 T6 aluminum and finished with a matte Type III hard coat anodize, this base is built to take punishment and stay put. The integral recoil lug and no-slip Torx screws eliminate guesswork during installation, so you can trust zero shift won't haunt you at the range or in the field. Works seamlessly with both Picatinny and Weaver-style rings, so you're not locked into one ring ecosystem.

If you're stretching shots or stacking elevation for long-distance hunting and competition, Weaver also makes this base in a 20 MOA canted version for extended range optics adjustment—just specify that version if it suits your mission. The standard zero-cant configuration is ideal for most hunting and mid-range applications.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this Winchester Model 70 Short Action base work with my existing Weaver-style rings?

Yes. The multi-slot Picatinny rail is compatible with both Picatinny and Weaver-style rings, so you can use the rings you already own.

What's the benefit of the extended 1-inch forward length on this base?

The additional length gives you more options for where to position your scope on the rifle. This is especially useful if you're running a larger objective lens or longer eyepiece, or if you simply want to push the optic further forward to change your sight picture and eye relief.

Should I choose the standard or 20 MOA canted version?

Go with the standard zero cant for typical hunting and moderate-range shooting. Choose the 20 MOA canted version if you're building a long-range precision rifle and want built-in cant to increase your elevation adjustment range on the scope itself.

How do I know this base will fit my Winchester Model 70 Short Action?

This base is engineered specifically for Winchester Model 70 Short Action rifles. If your rifle is a Model 70 Short Action, this is the correct fit. If you own a Long Action variant, you'll need the Long Action version instead.
