Talley Stainless Steel Base for Winchester 70 LA (Extended) (8.4 mm)

• Steel construction: The steel body gives this Talley base the rigidity needed for a stable optic interface, helping the scope stay aligned under recoil and repeated use.
• Extended front profile: The extended layout adds mounting flexibility for scopes with shorter main tubes, making it easier to achieve proper eye relief on long-action rifles.
• Stainless steel finish: The stainless steel color pairs well with stainless rifles and adds a durable, practical surface for field use in wet hunting conditions.
• 0 MOA configuration: A flat base keeps the optic centered in a conventional mounting setup, which suits general hunting rifles and standard-distance zeroing.
• Talley dovetail compatibility: Designed to work with Talley Dovetail Bases, this base forms part of a secure two-piece mounting system built for repeatable scope installation.

About the Talley Bases Series

Talley Bases are built as a traditional steel mounting option within the Talley lineup, intended for shooters who want a separate base-and-ring system rather than an integrated one-piece mount. The series covers a wide range of firearm models, and each base is made for a specific receiver pattern so the fit matches the rifle it was designed around. Machined from solid bar stock, these bases focus on mechanical strength and consistent alignment, which matters when a hunting or field rifle is carried hard and expected to hold zero.

A defining feature of the series is Talley’s double recoil shoulder design, which helps the base resist movement under recoil and keeps the optic platform stable over time. Talley also states that these bases are checked for fit to the firearm they are intended for, reinforcing the series’ emphasis on correct interface geometry rather than a one-size-fits-many approach. In practical use, Talley Bases are meant to be paired with Talley Fixed Rings or Talley Quick-Detachable Rings, giving the shooter a traditional steel mounting system with flexibility in ring choice.

About the Talley Stainless Steel Base for Winchester 70 LA (Extended) (8.4 mm)

The Talley Stainless Steel Base for Winchester 70 LA (Extended) (8.4 mm) is a rifle-specific mounting base made for long-action Winchester Model 70 pattern rifles and related actions listed in its compatibility range. Its main advantage is the extended front geometry, which gives extra room when mounting scopes with limited tube length. On long-action rifles, that added positioning freedom can make the difference between a compromised setup and one with correct eye relief and balanced scope placement.

This model uses a steel construction, which suits shooters who prefer the feel and durability of a traditional all-steel mounting system. Steel adds mass compared with alloy, but it also provides a very solid foundation for hunting optics on rifles that may see rough handling, repeated recoil, or frequent transport. The 0 MOA inclination keeps the setup straightforward for conventional zeroing, making it a sensible choice for general-purpose hunting and sporting rifles rather than specialized extreme-range builds.

The stainless steel finish is especially appropriate on stainless or silver-toned rifles, giving the rifle a more consistent appearance while also standing up well to outdoor use. Because this base is intended for the Talley dovetail system, it is part of a mounting arrangement that prioritizes secure engagement between base and ring. For shooters building a dependable hunting rifle around a Winchester 70 long action, this extended Talley base offers a practical combination of fit, mounting latitude, and traditional steel durability.
