The Ruger 10/22 is one of the best little rimfires ever made, and slapping a scope on it is half the fun. The trouble is that a 10/22 doesn't play nice with standard Weaver rings straight out of the box, which is exactly where this Leupold Rifleman base comes in. It bridges that gap with a single-piece platform machined specifically to fit the 10/22 receiver, giving you a clean, stable foundation for whatever optic you're running.
Leupold makes the Rifleman base from aircraft-grade aluminum, so you get real strength and recoil resistance without stacking extra weight onto a rifle that's meant to be handy and quick. The matte black anodized finish keeps glare down and matches up nicely with Rifleman rings or any Weaver-style rings you already own. It runs on Leupold's proven cross-slot design, so ring positioning is flexible and your scope sits right where you want it.
The 10/22 receiver comes drilled and tapped from the factory, usually with little filler screws sitting in the holes. Pull those out, wipe the threads clean, and the base drops right onto the pre-drilled pattern with the included hardware. A dab of blue Loctite and a careful, even torque on the screws is the move here since the aluminum receiver threads can strip if you crank down too hard. Take your time and it's a five-minute job that holds zero for the long haul.
This is a true Weaver-style base, so any Weaver rings will clamp right on. Pair it with Leupold Rifleman rings for a matched setup, or use whatever quality rings you've got on the shelf. One thing worth knowing: Weaver and Picatinny rings look nearly identical, but the cross-slots differ slightly, so stick with Weaver rings for the cleanest fit on this base.
It's machined specifically for the Ruger 10/22 receiver, which comes drilled and tapped from the factory. Most standard 10/22 models will take this base using the existing screw holes. If you have an older or modified rifle, it's worth checking that your receiver still has the factory mounting pattern before installing.
This is a Weaver-style base, so it accepts any standard Weaver rings, including Leupold's own Rifleman rings. Weaver and Picatinny rings look similar but the cross-slots aren't identical, so Weaver rings give you the cleanest, most reliable fit. Rings are sold separately since they aren't included with the base.
Yes, the base ships with four mounting screws to attach it to your 10/22 receiver. A dab of blue Loctite on the threads is a smart idea to keep everything locked in under recoil. Go easy on the torque, since the aluminum receiver threads can strip if you over-tighten them.
That depends on your setup and ring height. On a standard 10/22 with factory sights, a scoped base and rings can sit high enough to block the irons. If keeping your iron sights usable is a priority, plan your ring height accordingly or expect to run the optic as your primary sighting system.
