The Weaver #82 Top-Mount Scope Base (Weaver part no. 48082) is machined specifically for New England Firearms and Henry single-shot rifles, giving these actions a solid mounting platform for a riflescope. Weaver cuts the base from aluminum and finishes it in a black gloss that matches most factory blued receivers. Because it’s machined to the exact screw pattern of these receivers, there’s no drilling or gunsmithing involved — it bolts straight to the factory holes. This is the correct base to start with if you’re mounting glass on a New England Firearms or Henry rifle for small-game hunting or plinking.
