The Weaver #61 Top Mount Base is a precision rifle scope mounting solution engineered for shooters who demand rock-solid repeatability and zero shift. This gloss-finish base is purpose-built to anchor your optic securely to flat-receiver rifles and firearms from trusted manufacturers like Savage, Tikka, Sako, and others. Whether you're setting up a dedicated range gun, a hunting rifle, or a tactical build, a quality scope base is the foundation of accurate shooting—and Weaver bases are built to stay put through recoil cycle after recoil cycle.

Weaver's engineering approach centers on tight tolerances and a square-cut notch design that locks into compatible Weaver detachable rings with zero slop. That mechanical interface is critical: a loose base or mounting system introduces variables that even the best optics can't overcome. The #61 is designed to handle the abuse—it won't shift, won't creep, and won't let you down when accuracy matters.

This base fits a wide range of modern rifles, including Savage short-action and long-action models, Tikka flat-receiver platforms, Sako Whitetail Hunter variants, and several other precision and hunting configurations. If you're upgrading optics on an older or specialized rifle, verify the exact model and receiver type against the compatibility list to ensure proper fit.

Will this base work with my existing Weaver rings?

Yes—the #61 features Weaver's signature square-cut notch that mates with the cross bolt in Weaver detachable rings and other rings designed to the Weaver slot standard.

Is this a front, rear, or can it be used for both positions?

Compatibility varies by rifle model. Some rifles accept the #61 at front and rear, while others are limited to front or rear mounting. Check your specific rifle model in the compatibility list to confirm the correct position for your build.
