Weaver Standard Top Mount Aluminum Scope Base - Silver - #36S - S&W 1500 1600 1700 REAR

The Weaver Standard Top Mount Aluminum Scope Base in silver finish is a one-piece mounting solution engineered for S&W 1500, 1600, and 1700 bolt-action rifles. This REAR base (model 48005) integrates with Weaver-equipped optics and provides a secure, snug-fitting interface without requiring firearm modification. Operators and hunters who demand repeatable zero retention across extended field use will find this aluminum construction delivers the rigidity necessary for precision shooting applications.

Weaver bases are available in both top-mount and side-mount configurations, as well as in one-piece and two-piece sets. The single-piece design of this rear base minimizes potential zero shift caused by multiple attachment points. The aluminum material offers favorable strength-to-weight characteristics while the silver anodized finish provides baseline corrosion resistance for field environments. Dimensions of 3.35 x 0.45 x 3.9 inches keep the profile compact, and at 0.03 lbs, this base adds negligible mass to your platform—critical when balancing overall rifle weight for backcountry or sustained patrol operations.

This base pairs with complementary Weaver front mounts to complete a two-piece system, or functions as a rear-only upgrade on existing setups. Shooters evaluating scope mounting systems will appreciate that Weaver bases remain a trusted standard across law enforcement, military, and civilian precision communities because of their straightforward design and compatibility with a wide range of optics and mounting rings.

Compatibility with S&W 1500, 1600, and 1700 receivers is exact, making this rear base a direct-fit solution for shooters working with these bolt-action platforms who need immediate, zero-change mounting without gunsmithing or receiver drilling.
