Talley Steel Base for Weatherby Mark V (Extended)

• Steel construction: The all-steel build gives this base the rigidity needed for hard-recoiling hunting rifles, helping the optic stay secure and maintain alignment over time.
• Extended design: The extended layout provides extra mounting latitude, which is useful when fitting scopes with limited tube space or when fine-tuning eye relief on a Weatherby Mark V.
• Double recoil shoulder design: Talley’s base pattern is built to resist movement under recoil, giving the rings a more stable foundation and reducing the chance of shift after repeated firing.
• Machined from solid bar stock: A one-piece machined approach supports consistent fit and surface contact, which helps the base seat properly on the receiver and simplifies a precise installation.
• 0 MOA configuration: The flat base keeps the optic in a neutral mounting position, making it a practical choice for general hunting and sporting rifle setups at conventional distances.

About the Talley Bases Series

Talley Bases are the company’s traditional scope-mounting platform for shooters who want a dedicated steel base matched to a specific rifle action. The series is offered for a wide range of firearm models, which makes it a practical option for hunters and rifle owners who need a base tailored to the receiver rather than a universal rail. Machined from solid bar stock, these bases are built around a straightforward design that emphasizes fit, rigidity, and repeatable alignment.

A defining feature of the series is Talley’s double recoil shoulder design, which is intended to keep the mounting system stable under recoil and give the rings a secure foundation. Talley also states that each base is checked for fit to the firearm it is designed for, reflecting the series’ focus on model-specific compatibility. In practical use, Talley Bases suit traditional hunting rifles and clean, low-profile optic setups, and they are designed to work with Talley Fixed Rings or Talley Quick-Detachable Rings. Within Talley’s lineup, the steel base range remains the classic choice for shooters who prefer a conventional two-piece mounting system over an integrated ringmount or Picatinny rail.

About the Talley Steel Base for Weatherby Mark V (Extended)

The Talley Steel Base for Weatherby Mark V (Extended) is a traditional two-piece scope base made for shooters who want a strong steel mounting foundation on a Weatherby Mark V rifle while keeping the profile lower and cleaner than a full rail. Its extended configuration is the key difference from a standard base, giving additional room to position the scope correctly when the optic has a short main tube or when eye relief needs to be moved farther forward or rearward. That added flexibility is especially useful on hunting rifles where stock design, shooting position, and scope dimensions all affect final fit.

The base is made from steel, which gives it the mass and stiffness many shooters prefer on powerful centerfire rifles. In practice, that helps the mounting system resist movement and provides a stable interface between receiver and rings. Talley’s double recoil shoulder design further supports this role by helping the base stay planted under repeated recoil. The 0 MOA inclination keeps the optic level in a neutral orientation, which suits general-purpose hunting and sporting use where a simple, direct zero is preferred over a canted long-range setup.

With its 4.50 mm base height and black finish, this model is aimed at a practical field rifle build: compact, durable, and compatible with Talley ring systems intended for this base style. For a Weatherby Mark V owner who needs extra scope-placement freedom without moving to a larger rail system, this extended steel base fills that role neatly.
