Conetrol also offers a large inventory of DapTar bases, designed to fit the special integral mounting mechanisms of various gun manufacturers without drilling or tapping. Our inventory is the most extensive in the world, fitting guns by BRNO (both large and small dovetails), BSA, CZ (both large and small dovetails), Dubiel, Heckler & Koch, Haenel, Herter, Ithacagun, Kimber, Krico, LSA, Parker-Hale, Ruger, Sako, Steyr, Tikka, etc. DapTar bases are also available for Weaver and Picatinny rails, and grooved-receiver rimfires and air rifles of all makes.

DapTar bases for nontapered dovetails may be reversed at the shooter's discretion, as for short-tubed scopes, optimum eye relief, aesthetic considerations, wider-ring-spacing rigidity, etc. For tapered dovetails, the DapTar bases are available in a short-ring-spacing configuration as needed.

DapTar bases are priced as follows. Add rings for a complete mount.

As knowledgeable shooters are aware, builders of America's finest custom rifles often use their own custom-made bases with a characteristic fluted-edge design, specifically for use with Conetrol rings.

These "fluted" bases have come to be widely accepted by discriminating shooters willing and able to pay top prices for guns meeting their uncompromising tastes. Having recognized that this design is not without aesthetic appeal, and even more importantly, allows maximal removal of metal (ergo, weight) unnecessary to function, Conetrol is now offering two-piece fluted bases at production prices.

Not only is their cost lower than such bases heretofore made one at a time on special order, but they are being maintained as a stock item -- in other words, no waiting!
