Weaver #61 is the correct base for MK-85?

I need Weaver bares for a Knight MK-85.

My internet sleuthing tells me the #61 base will cut front and back positions, is this correct?

Consider the Warnes instead. They are steel not aluminum.

Weaver Grand Slam are also steel #S61 https://www.midwayusa.com/product/10425 ... -s61-matte

Good information.

I'm setting up a new MK-85 with plans to shoot lighter bullets with lighter (80-ish) charges of 777, mostly in the case my SO decides she wants to head out during muzzleloader season the rifle won't beat her up like my Accura does with 110 gr of BH209. Aluminum bases should be fine for this level of recoil, but good to know the steel option is out there.

I have them on a couple of my MK's for years with no issues.
