EGW
The EGW Howa 1500/Weatherby Vanguard short-action scope base is a one-piece Picatinny rail system engineered for shooters who want rock-solid optic mounting without compromise. If you're running a Howa 1500 or Weatherby Vanguard short-action rifle and need the flexibility to swap scopes, adjust eye relief on the fly, or pair your gun with Picatinny or Weaver rings, this heavy-duty aluminum base delivers the precision and rigidity that matter downrange.
Built from extruded 7075 T6 aluminum, the EGW base is machined to MIL-STD 1913 specifications with cross-slots gauged to +/-.002" tolerance—the kind of tight engineering that keeps your zero stable through seasons of hunting or range work. The heavy-duty profile sits .100" lower than lightweight alternatives, positioning your optic closer to the bore for a cleaner sight picture and no unnecessary weight riding atop your rifle. Installation is straightforward: the base drills directly into your factory scope mount holes using the included socket head Torx screws and wrench. EGW recommends 20 inch-lbs of torque and a small amount of blue threadlocker for a permanent, repeatable connection.
Whether you're building a precision rifle, upgrading from factory rings, or just want the dependability of a name trusted by serious shooters, this base won't let you down. The modular Picatinny design means you're not locked into a single ring system—swap rings and scopes without reinstalling the base.

Yes, the EGW heavy-duty base is designed specifically for Howa 1500 and Weatherby Vanguard short-action rifles and drills directly into the factory scope mount holes on the receiver.
The base accepts any rings compatible with Picatinny or Weaver standards, giving you flexibility in scope choice and ring selection without being locked into a single brand or system.
The base comes with socket head Torx screws and a matching wrench for installation. EGW recommends applying a small amount of blue threadlocker and torquing to 20 inch-lbs for a secure, repeatable mount.
The 0.100" lower height positions your optic closer to the barrel centerline, reducing overall rifle profile while keeping weight minimal—a design choice that benefits both accuracy and handling.
