The EGW heavy duty scope base (brand part number 81040) is built for the Howa 1500 and Weatherby Vanguard short action, giving both rifles a rugged 0 MOA Picatinny rail. Machined from aluminum and finished in matte black, this heavy duty base is designed to handle harder recoiling calibers and heavier optics without flexing. It’s made in the USA and accepts standard Mil-Std 1913 Picatinny rings, though rings themselves are sold separately. If you’re mounting a heavier scope or just want a more robust rail than a factory setup offers, this base is built for that job.
