encore base ??????????

[ollie]

Can you use a encore pistol base on a rifle barrel?

 

[ollie]

The reason i ask is they dont make a leupold style base for the 'rifle' but they do for the pistol. I was hopeing that i could use on eof those.

 

[Preacher]

No reason in this world you can't use it on your pistol, or rifle.......

Check your barrel tapers first

Ollie, sorry for the bad info yesterday, I was thing about my XP100. I checked on EGW web suite today and they now manufacture both T/C and Encore one piece Picatinny bases and they are available with 0moa or 20moa for 29.95, product #42/50. Midway also sells a Encore Weaver Grand Slam 1 piece steel base #782-351 for 20.49. Hope this is helpful.

The base is the same for the rifle and pistol. However I do not like the length of the Leupold one piece base, it is too short, and does not allow for any scope movement in the rings.

I prefer the Warne system. It is a good solid system, and it is a good bit longer to allow adjustment for eye relief. If you need a set of the Warnes then let me know I have an extra set I would sell for a decent price. Tom.

The Encore and Contender have the same screw spacing on their mounts but the the arc of the mating face are different as the Encore is a larger diameter

Same frame is used for pistol or rifle. Bases will fit. Just like the Contender frames. All that changes is the hardware and barrel length.

DNZ makes a scope mount for the Encore part#10002
Maybe not too pretty however, heavy duty.

Weaver lists two: 410, & 9899
Both fit Encore
Rings will also be required to mount a scope

Might be a new record- replying to the same Zombie from 2009. Twice, 13 months apart! lol

Might be an old thread but somehow the barrel wall thickness never got mentioned.
With the Encore:
Don't use a rifle mount base on a shot gun barrel!
The provided screws will exceed the depth of the tapped hole.
A special base is required for shotgun barrels with the Encore
or at least the shortening of the provided screws is suggested
