| My new 10/22 came with a weaver style base for scope mounting. Is this base any good, or should I look to the aftermarket for something better? I'm mounting a Leupold Mark AR 1.5-4. Use would be general plinking and and maybe some hunting. |
| If you would like a 1 piece mount/ring system, check out the DNZ mounts. I have 2 on 10/22's and they are top notch. |
 
I purchased a conversion rail and some quick release mounts for my UTG Bugbuster scope. Works for me. |

The weaver rail that came with mine was junk. It wouldn't stay tight and my scope wouldn't stay zeroed. I bought a Tactical Solutions rail and it works great. Get good rings and a good base. Install them properly. |

With how faster .22lr drop you want a scope base with some cant, otherwise you're going to run out of elevation in your scope. Another factor is the 10/22 is known for have barrel "droop", the barrel tends to shoot low because of how it's mounted. You should ensure the screws for the V-block are only tighten to 10in/lbs to elevate this slightly. I would suggest getting a 20-25MOA base, it will let you maximize your scope.
I use one from DIP, Inc and it works outstandingly and I frequently shoot my 10/22 to 300yds https://www.diproductsinc.com/Detail.aspx?PROD=1137176&CAT=8805 |

No, no you don't. I had it. With a 25yds zero, it only left me with 2.2mils of elevation in my scope. You want some with at least 20moa cant
