Unfortunately it doesn't come with the scope base. And Epps didn't have them in stock so I had to shop around (online). I found a place that had a couple of the correct base. I bought both, one for mine and one for my dad. It's a pretty rugged set up. FYI, if you get the gun, the proper scope base is the Traditions A1780; the A1783 will also work, but has one less screw hole.
I have searched all over trying to find a A1783 scope mount. I need one badly. I contacted Traditions and they said it hasn't been made in years.
