Talley Steel Base for Ruger 10/22 Rimfire

• Steel construction: The steel body gives this base the rigidity and wear resistance needed for a rimfire rifle that sees frequent range use, helping the optic stay securely mounted over time.
• Ruger 10/22 fit: Built specifically for the Ruger 10/22 rimfire platform, it provides a model-specific mounting interface that simplifies installation and supports consistent alignment.
• 0 MOA profile: The flat, non-canted design suits general rimfire shooting distances, making it a practical choice for plinking, hunting optics, and everyday target setups.
• Low 4.00 mm height: A low base height helps keep the scope closer to the bore, which can improve cheek weld and give the rifle a more natural handling feel.
• Compatible Talley dovetail system: Designed to work with Talley Dovetail Bases, this base supports a proven mounting system for shooters who want a traditional steel setup on a rimfire rifle.

About the Talley Bases Series

Talley Bases are Talley’s traditional scope-mount foundation for shooters who want a dedicated base system matched to specific firearms. The series is offered for a wide range of rifle models, including rimfire and centerfire platforms, and it is intended for hunters and target shooters who prefer a separate base-and-ring arrangement rather than a one-piece mount. A defining feature of the series is the double recoil shoulder design, which is used to keep the scope assembly seated firmly under recoil and repeated use.

Talley builds these bases from solid bar stock and checks them for fit to the firearm they are designed for. In practical terms, that approach supports dependable alignment and a cleaner installation on rifles that benefit from model-specific mounting hardware. Within Talley’s lineup, the series represents a classic steel-base option that pairs with Talley Fixed Rings or Talley Quick-Detachable Rings. For shooters assembling a traditional hunting or rimfire optics setup, Talley Bases focus on straightforward strength, precise fit, and compatibility with established Talley ring systems.

About the Talley Steel Base for Ruger 10/22 Rimfire

The Talley Steel Base for Ruger 10/22 Rimfire is a dedicated mounting solution for one of the most widely used rimfire rifles. Its role is simple but important: provide a stable steel interface between the rifle and a compatible Talley ring system. Because it is made specifically for the Ruger 10/22, the base suits shooters who want a cleaner, more secure fit than a generic mounting option can offer. That makes it well suited to plinking rifles, small-game hunting setups, and rimfire target rifles that need dependable optic retention without unnecessary bulk.

The use of steel construction gives this model a traditional feel and a strong bearing surface for repeated installation and long-term use. The 0 MOA configuration keeps the optic level with the rifle’s receiver, which is appropriate for the practical distances at which most 10/22 rifles are used. Its 4.00 mm base height also helps maintain a low-mounted optic position, supporting a more natural cheek weld and a more compact overall setup. In use, that lower profile can make a rimfire rifle quicker to shoulder and easier to shoot consistently from field positions or the bench.

This base is designed to work with Talley Dovetail Bases, fitting into Talley’s established mounting ecosystem. For shooters building a traditional rimfire optics package, it offers a straightforward combination of firearm-specific fit, steel durability, and a low-profile mounting geometry.
