The Weaver Tactical 1-piece extended multi-slot base for the Ruger American Short Action (Weaver part no. 99469) gives the rifle a longer rail for positioning an optic. Weaver adds an extra inch of forward length to its multi-slot design, which opens up eye-relief and ring-placement options on scopes with long tubes or tall bells. The base is machined from 6061-T6 aluminum, finished in matte Type III hard coat anodizing and locks to the receiver with an integral recoil lug. It is a practical upgrade for hunters and precision shooters who want a stronger mounting platform than the stock base.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which rifle does this base fit? It is made for the Ruger American Short Action. Check that your rifle is a short action model before ordering, because long action rifles use a different base.

What rings work with this base? The multi-slot rail accepts Picatinny or Weaver style rings, so a wide range of rings and one-piece mounts will fit.

Why choose an extended base? The extra inch of forward length lets you slide the scope forward or back, which helps with eye relief on scopes that have long tubes or large objective bells.
