The EGW Heavy Duty Scope Base (brand part no. 81042) is a one-piece Picatinny rail built for the Howa 1500 and Weatherby Vanguard short action, machined from aluminum and finished in matte black for a durable, no-glare mounting platform. Built with 20 MOA of elevation, it pre-compensates for bullet drop so a long-range shooter isn’t using up scope adjustment just to zero at distance. EGW builds this base to its Heavy Duty spec for the added rigidity a hunting or precision rifle demands, and it’s made in the USA.
