Dentler Base rail BASIS - Steyr Mannlicher Classic WSM

• Firearm-Specific Fit: This BASIS base rail is made for the Steyr Mannlicher Classic WSM, so it matches the receiver geometry correctly and gives a stable foundation for the mounting system without improvised fitting.
• Modular BASIS Interface: The rail works with the Dentler Mounts Interface, allowing the rifle to accept compatible Dentler optic mounting rails. This makes it easier to move between optics or configure the rifle for different hunting setups.
• Steel Construction: Made from steel, the base rail is built for long-term rigidity and resistance to wear at the contact points, which matters when maintaining repeatable optic positioning over repeated mounting cycles.
• Low 4.00 mm Height: The 4.00 mm BH height keeps the mounting platform close to the rifle. A lower setup can help preserve handling, support a more natural cheek weld, and avoid adding unnecessary bulk above the action.
• Matte Black Finish: The black matte surface gives the rail a subdued appearance that suits hunting rifles and helps reduce visible reflections in the field.

About the BASIS Series

Dentler BASIS is the company’s core modular mounting system for hunters who want a repeatable and firearm-specific way to mount optics. In the Dentler lineup, BASIS sits as the standard modular platform, built around a two-part concept: a dedicated base rail that stays on the rifle and a separate optic mounting rail that stays with the sight. This approach is intended for shooters who use one rifle with different optics, or who want a cleaner and more systematic alternative to conventional one-piece mounting solutions.

The series is defined by its firearm-specific base rails, its compatibility with interchangeable Dentler optic rails, and its emphasis on a secure mechanical connection. Dentler designed the system for practical hunting use, where repeatable mounting, straightforward handling, and robust steel components matter more than unnecessary complexity. Within the brand’s range, BASIS is the platform for users who want the modularity of the Dentler concept while keeping the setup simple and rifle-specific. It is especially well suited to hunting rifles that may alternate between daytime optics, compact sights, or other compatible sighting systems depending on the season and the type of hunt.

About the Dentler Base rail BASIS - Steyr Mannlicher Classic WSM

The Dentler Base rail BASIS - Steyr Mannlicher Classic WSM is a dedicated mounting base for shooters who want to equip a Steyr Mannlicher Classic WSM with the Dentler modular optic system. Its role is straightforward but important: it provides the rifle-side interface that allows a compatible Dentler mounting rail to be attached securely and in the correct position. Because this component is matched to the rifle platform, it supports a cleaner installation than generic adapters and forms the basis of a more consistent optic setup.

The practical advantage of this model lies in its combination of steel construction, low 4.00 mm BH height, and compatibility with the Dentler Mounts Interface. Steel gives the base the stiffness and durability expected from a hard-use mounting component, especially on a hunting rifle that may see repeated optic changes, transport, and field use in poor weather. The low profile helps keep the optic platform close to the bore line, which can improve rifle balance and support a more natural head position behind the scope. Its matte black finish also keeps the installation visually discreet on a traditional hunting rifle.

For hunters building a modular setup, this base rail is the essential first step. Once installed, it allows the rifle to become part of the Dentler BASIS ecosystem, making it easier to configure the firearm around different optic needs while keeping the mounting foundation purpose-built for the Steyr Mannlicher Classic WSM.

About Dentler

Dentler Jagdwaffen was founded in 2011 by Daniel Dentler. The company is based in Leutkirch im Allgäu, Germany, and focuses on modular riflescope mounting systems for hunting firearms. Its best-known product families are BASIS and BASIS VARIO, both built around the idea of separating the rifle-side base from the optic-side mounting rail.

This specialization has made Dentler particularly relevant to hunters who want a more flexible mounting solution than fixed, single-purpose mounts. The standard BASIS system uses a firearm-specific base rail with an interchangeable optic rail, while BASIS VARIO adds continuous height and windage adjustment. Dentler also offers mounting rails for a wide range of optic formats, including Aimpoint, Pulsar, Swarovski, Zeiss, and Weaver/Picatinny, reflecting the brand’s focus on compatibility across modern hunting optics.
