Theoben Rapid 12 Weaver Scope Base
For the first time, this new Rapid 12 base allows a shooter to use his choice of scopes with 2 piece Weaver mounts. Rapid 12 rifles, along with other Theoben rifles, have mounts that screw into the receiver and are included with the new rifles. Because of the lack of a dovetail or scope rail, it was impossible to use Weaver style mounts with the rifles. This new base is used by simply unscrewing the existing mounts and screwing on the new Weaver base creating a Weaver style scope rail. However, it is really a Pictininny base rather than a true Weaver base which means that it will work perfectly with 2 piece Weaver mounts but the spacing of the gaps will not work with 1 piece Weaver mounts. So be sure to order 2 piece Weaver mounts when ordering this scope base.
