If you've been running iron sights on your Ruger American Rimfire and want to throw a scope on it, this Warne Vapor two-piece base set is the straightforward way to get there. It's a firearm-specific fit, meaning these bases are cut for the Ruger American Rimfire receiver (and they'll also work on Marlin XT-17 and XT-22 rifles) so there's no guesswork or shimming involved. The whole set weighs next to nothing at roughly 0.4 ounces, which keeps your rig trim and the balance where you want it.
These are machined from solid 6061 aluminum and finished in matte black anodizing, so they look clean on the rifle and hold up to weather and handling. The real workhorse feature is the cross-cut Weaver/Warne-style slots, which give your rings a positive bite that handles recoil and keeps your zero honest round after round. Any standard Weaver or Warne-style rings will drop right into these slots, so you've got plenty of ring options to pair with your scope of choice.
Installation is about as painless as it gets. The bases use 6-48 screws and T-15 Torx hardware, and Warne suggests cleaning the oil out of the receiver holes, loosely setting your rings and scope first to check eye relief, then snugging everything down to no more than 25 inch-pounds of torque. A dab of removable thread locker on the base screws is a smart move for keeping things put. Do a quick visual check for proper alignment before final tightening and you're good to go.
Warne builds these in the USA and backs the Vapor line with a lifetime warranty, which is a nice bit of reassurance for a part that's doing the important job of holding your optic steady. For folks who want a dependable, no-fuss mounting solution on their rimfire without overspending, this base set hits the sweet spot.
Yes, this base set is machined specifically for the Ruger American Rimfire receiver and lines up with the factory drilled and tapped holes. It also fits the Marlin XT-17 and XT-22 rifles. There's no gunsmithing required since it uses the existing screw holes.
These bases use the Weaver/Warne-style cross-cut slot pattern, so any standard Weaver or Warne-style rings will mount right up. Just pick a ring height that clears your scope's objective diameter. You'll need to buy rings separately since they aren't included with the base.
It does. The set includes 6-48 mounting screws that use a T-15 Torx bit. Warne recommends torquing them to no more than 25 inch-pounds and adding a bit of removable thread locker for a secure, lasting hold.
This Vapor set is precision machined from 6061 aluminum with a matte black anodized finish, which keeps it lightweight at around 0.4 ounces. If you specifically want steel, Warne offers the Maxima line for the same rifle. For most rimfire setups, the aluminum Vapor holds up just fine and keeps the weight down.
