Revelyst, the manufacturer of performance gear and precision technologies, and RCBS, the manufacturer of reloading tools, announced a licensing agreement for Revelyst’s scope brand, Weaver Mounts.
As part of this agreement, RCBS will continue to manufacture all Weaver rings, bases and mounts in its Oroville, CA, headquarters.
“After the Hodgdon Powder Company purchased the RCBS business last year,” said Aaron Oelger, Hodgdon’s VP of Marketing, “it was a natural decision to license the Weaver brand. After all, Weaver rings, bases and mounts have been manufactured at our RCBS facility in Oroville since 2012.
“This agreement will leverage our expertise in manufacturing high-quality mounting systems by our team of manufacturing specialists and offering our Made in the USA Weaver optics mounting solutions to consumers everywhere. Other companies may build Weaver-style rings, but we remain the only authentic source for Weaver rings, bases and mounts—complete mounting solutions crafted to exceed accuracy and precision requirements that modern shooters demand,” continued Oelger.
RCBS will sell Weaver rings, bases and mounts alongside RCBS reloading tools. RCBS will begin shipping Weaver mounts to retail and wholesale customers in January 2025.
“Weaver has been an industry leader in high-performance mounting systems for more than 90 years and is a cornerstone of quality in the shooting sports industry,” said Simon Waters, president of Licensing, Entertainment and Communications for Revelyst. “We are confident that RCBS, with its reputation for excellence and craftsmanship, will take the brand to new heights while preserving its legacy through this license deal.”
RCBS has manufacturered reloading ammunition tools since its founding in 1943. Made in America, RCBS is a brand of Hodgdon Powder Company, based in Oroville, CA.
Since 1930, Weaver Mounting Systems has manufactured optics mounting systems, including a full line of rings, bases and mounts for firearms.
