The EGW Winchester 70 Short Action Picatinny Scope Base (brand part number EGW42000) mounts a Picatinny-pattern rail directly to a Winchester 70 Short Action receiver, built to a 0 MOA incline. Evolution Gun Works machines the base from 6061-T6 extruded aluminum and finishes it in matte black for a durable, corrosion-resistant mount, running 6.276 inches overall with a 3.259-inch center spread between the two middle mounting holes. The base ships with hex-head screws and a wrench for installation, and EGW recommends 20 inch-lbs of torque with a drip of blue Loctite on the screws. It’s made in the USA to EGW’s standard tolerances.
