10/22 Base

[firecaptain]

I am looking for a 10/22 base between 5-6" in length to accomadate a scope and proper eye relief. Most Weaver style ones are 4.5" and this is a little short for the scope I have. After looking on the internet I have found very little. Does anyone have a solution that will not break the bank? Thanks

do you mean then that the scope base will extend out over the receiver , and thus over the barrel ? What kknd of scope do you have that won't fit on the normal 10/22 scope base ?

I THINK the common Weaver T09 base, which extends forward of the receiver, is long enough to meet your needs. Apparently the actual length is some sort of state secret, as I can't find it anywhere on the internet, and don't feel like digging though my piles of stuff to find one to measure for you. :lol:

If you need more length out front, the Volquartsen extended picatinny rail is excellent and offers a little extra height to boot.

My Weaver T09 base measures 4.75" and Weaver's part no. is 48201 for the black gloss version.

the ones I got from the late Ron Honner were Weaver 430s and they are 4.75" I could probably let one go for around $10 plus shipping.

I have a Mueller 8-32. Yes, a 5-6" long base would extend out over the front of the receiver and thus over the barrel a little. I have it mounted right now and can barely get rid of the black ring on the inside of the scope whil elooking through it. If the scope were moved a little more forward, It would eliminate the black ring totally and give me some room to work.

How about an offset ring to give you a little wiggle room?

 

[Kevin]

Yup, now I can visualize what you mean, I agree. Sometimes the 10/22 seems a bit short. Offset rings might've the solution as I bet you probably don't want a custom stock with a longer length of pull.

My TO-9 extends about 5/8 inch forward of the receiver. Used it because it's thinner than the supplied Ruger base. I can peep under my 3-7 X 20 Tasco and use the irons.
