EGW
The EGW Ruger American Short Action scope base gives you a rock-solid foundation for optics on your Ruger American short-action rifle without breaking out the drill press. This one-piece Picatinny rail mounts directly to your rifle's factory scope mount holes, so installation is straightforward: line it up, torque it down, and you're ready to ring steel. It's machined from 6061 T6 aluminum—the same material used in quality tactical gear—so you get rigidity without unnecessary weight.
If you've ever wrestled with eye relief, you know the value of flexibility. The Picatinny slot-and-rail design lets you slide your rings forward or back quickly and easily, dialing in the perfect sight picture for your face and your shooting position. Since it accepts both Picatinny and Weaver rings, you aren't locked into one brand of optics or forced to buy new rings if you swap scopes. The cross-slots are gauged to MIL-STD 1913 specs (±.002"), which means fit and repeatability you can trust shot after shot.
EGW designed the Tactical version with a milled center channel that shaves weight where it counts, up on the gun. The base ships with socket head Torx screws and the wrench you need to install it; EGW recommends 20 inch-lbs of torque and a small drop of blue loctite to lock everything in place permanently. This is the kind of detail-oriented engineering that keeps your zero stable through hard use.
