Thompson Center Cross-Slot Base for Encore 12 GA Shotgun Features The Thompson Center Cross-Slot Base mounts directly to the Encore 12 gauge shotgun receiver giving shooters a Weaver-style mounting surface built to Thompson Center s own factory specifications. Machined from lightweight aluminum the base keeps added weight to a minimum while maintaining the rigidity needed to hold zero under repeated recoil. Its cross-slot pattern allows rings to be positioned at multiple points along the base making it easier to achieve proper eye relief with a wide range of scope lengths. The matte black finish resists glare and blends seamlessly with the Encore s factory finish. Because this base is purpose-built for the Encore shotgun platform installation is straightforward and requires no drilling or fitting work. Thompson Center backs the base with the same reliability the Encore system is known for among slug gun and turkey hunters who depend on precise optic placement for tight patterns and ethical shots. The one-piece Weaver-style design offers a secure low-profile mounting solution that keeps the rifle s balance close to factory feel. For Encore 12 gauge owners ready to add a scope or red dot this Cross-Slot Base is a direct dependable fit.
