The Weaver #61S Top-Mount Scope Base (Weaver part no. 48002) is machined for CVA and Traditions muzzleloading rifles, giving these in-line muzzleloaders a factory-tight platform for a riflescope. Weaver machines every base to tight tolerances for a custom fit and builds this one from aluminum, finishing it in a silver matte that matches most muzzleloader barrels. It uses Weaver’s rock-solid cross-lock design, so once rings are torqued down they hold tight under the recoil of a saboted muzzleloader load. This is the correct base to start with if you’re mounting glass on a CVA or Traditions rifle for deer season.
