Anaconda / Python / King Cobra / Trooper Scope Mount (WEIG-A-TINNY® Style)

The Anaconda/Python/King Cobra/Trooper Scope Mount is a rugged, slim base designed for classic Colt revolvers that are factory drilled and tapped to accept scope mounts. Built in the WEIG-A-TINNY® style, this mount lets you attach Weaver- or Picatinny-style rings and accessories for optics or scopes — turning your wheelgun into a more precise long-range or hunting-ready platform. Known for solid performance and recoil-resistant design, it’s a popular choice for shooters fitting traditional Colt revolvers with modern optics.

Key Features

Classic Colt Compatibility:
• Designed to work with Colt Anaconda, Python, King Cobra, and Trooper models that are drilled and tapped from the factory. If your revolver isn’t drilled, holes can be added to accept the mount.

WEIG-A-TINNY®-Style Base:
• Combines the familiar Weaver mounting pattern with compatibility for many Picatinny-style rings and accessories, allowing flexibility in scope or sight setups.

Solid Recoil Lug:
• A large rear lug seats into the sight recess to help prevent movement under recoil, giving a stable platform for optics or rings.

Simple Installation:
• Remove your factory rear sight and install the scope base using the supplied screws. No separate elevation screw hole is used for attachment.

Multiple Fit Versions:
• Older revolver models (pre-2020) use one version (CANAMNTB/S), while 2020 and newer models require the updated CANAMNTB/S-2 base for proper fit.

Accepts Common Rings & Accessories:
• Works with standard Weaver and Picatinny scope rings, making it easy to mount scopes, red dot sights, or other optics — expanding versatility without specialized hardware.

Technical Specifications

(Always verify your firearm’s dovetail/drilled-and-tapped specifications before installation.)

Performance & Practical Use

This scope mount base has a long track record with classic Colt revolver shooters who want to fit a scope for hunting, target shooting, or distance work. Its WEIG-A-TINNY® style is engineered to marry the traditional Weaver mount footprint with broader Picatinny-style compatibility — so you can choose from a wide range of optic mount rings without needing specialized hardware.

By seating securely in the sight recess with a robust rear lug and using supplied hardware that’s sized for the revolver’s drilled holes, this base gives a stable platform for optics even under .357 Magnum recoil. The simplified installation (replacing the rear sight) keeps the mount low and centered, maintaining classic revolver balance while adding modern functionality.

Best Suited For

✔ Colt revolver owners who want to mount a scope or optic without gunsmith-built rails
✔ Hunters and range shooters looking to enhance precision on Anaconda/Python/Trooper/King Cobra models
✔ Shooters who prefer Weaver/Picatinny ring compatibility for flexible accessory selection

User Tips

Check Model Year & Fit:
Older Colts and newer ones (post-2020) require slightly different scope base versions — be sure to pick the correct part number for your revolver’s year and drilled/tapped configuration.

Installation Notes:
Remove the rear sight first and set the mount in the sight groove with supplied screws. Because this base doesn't use the rear elevation screw hole, make sure your revolver’s existing mounting holes are clean and properly threaded.

Optics Ring Selection:
This mount doesn’t include rings — choose Weaver or Picatinny-style rings that match both your scope’s tube diameter and your shooting goals (e.g., hunting vs. target precision).

Caliber Caution:
On larger calibers like .45-cal revolvers, the supplied screws may need trimming to avoid contact with the cylinder due to the larger diameter and thinner top strap on those models.
