Default bases for T/C Traditional rifles

Well I have been asked over and over if there are bases out there for the Thompson Center Hawkins, Renegades, Black Mountain Magnums, and New Englanders, PA Hunter, and other rifles...so some of us can mount scopes on them... there are. I called Thompson Center and talked to a very nice young lady who was very helpful. These also fit on the Green Mountain drop in barrels.

I just bought them all up. Kidding!!! These are the mounts that the hammer will miss. You still have to get the rings of your choice, I suggest quick release, and there is no adjustment to the hammer needed. Remember, your rifle will loose the rear sight when you mount this, and make sure your barrel is tapped at the very back of the barrel or you have to send in your barrel, they will tap the barrel and mount the base for you. But they want to do it. Maybe it has something to do with warranty, I did not ask.

Go to the Thompson Center Arms Accessory shop. These mounts are not listed on their web site, so you have to call (Online Sales: 1-800-350-5915 (M-F 9-5 EST)) and talk to the very nice young lady who will set you up and sell you them over the phone.


For the Hawkins, Renegade and other octagon style barrels you will need
# B30088 and the cost is $31.95

For the New Englander, Black Mountain Magnum, PA Hunter and other round ball rifles that are traditional, you will need #B30090 and the cost is $31.95.

Shipping for the two of them is around $9.00 so there is the information you asked for.

with my synthetic stock new englander i had to add a leather shotgun cheek piece. the way the buttstock curves downward makes shouldering tough and the scope too high. i needed almost a 1 inch rise and that was with using medium scope rings. with the cabelas shotgun cheek pad its fast handling now. http://www.cabelas.com/cabelas/en/te...0005794220711a
