Looking for a base.............

DoninVa · 02-15-2003, 09:12 AM

I bought a Winchester 1300 black shadow and want to put a scope on it. The guy at the shop that I usually buy from is having a hard time finding a Weaver style base for this gun. I told him yesterday, I would wait a couple more weeks to see if he can find it, but I need to locate one just in case he can' t

. Do any of you know where I could find one if he can' t. Don

I got mine on Ebay, brand new in the package for $19.99. The Leupold saddle mount usally retails for above $60. not too bad

Hey Scott, The Winchester is drilled and taped for a base

. That was a great price. I had to pay 60.00 for the one I bought for my 870[

Don, I am looking in my Natchez catalog and they have a 1 pc. Weaver base in matte finish for the Winchester 1300 on page 44. Cost is $4.98. All you will need is the base and a good set of rings. I have a Weaver base and Burris rings installed on my Rem. 870. Makes a great setup! You can view their catalog on their website www.natchezss.com if you wish. Hope this helps.

Don, I don' t know if they stilll make this one, but I have a tasco base and rings on my 1300. As a matter of fact this was the very first base and rings I ever seen like this!! The base comes with " studs" already machined into it, and the rings sit down on top of these studs. They fasten by two small set screws on either side of the rings!! Very streamlined and seem to work great!! They have been there for 11 years now!!

Hey MOTurkeyTamer, If it' s not to much trouble, could you give me the Weaver number for the base as I don' t seem to be able to find it in the Natchez online catalog. Don

Don,

Just a quick note. I love Natchez Shooting Supply, BUT you have to spend at least $35.00 to order. Never really problem

unless the wife finds out

Don, the Weaver part # is 416M. The Natchez order # for this part is WE48434.

My Winchester 1300 came with the weaver mounts when I bought it. The mounts are stamped KS-46. The mounts and screw were in the gun' s box.
