The EGW Scope Base (brand part number 40800) is a 0 MOA Picatinny rail base machined specifically for the Remington 870. EGW machines the base from 6061-T6 extruded aluminum and finishes it in matte black, giving 870 owners a modern optics-mounting platform the factory receiver doesn’t offer. Installation uses the included hex head screws and wrench, and EGW recommends 20 inch-pounds of torque with a drop of blue thread locker for a secure, properly seated mount. Made in the USA, it’s a direct, no-drilling upgrade for anyone mounting a red dot or scope on an 870.
