Getting a modern scope on a vintage large ring Mauser 98 has always been a headache, and this EGW rail solves it cleanly. It's a one-piece base machined from domestic 6061 T6 extruded aluminum, finished in a matte black Type II anodize that holds up to real hunting and range use. The built-in 20 MOA forward cant tilts your scope down so you can dial up for distance without running out of elevation travel, which is exactly what you want when you're reaching past 500 yards.
The 20 MOA angle is the main reason to grab this version over a flat base. EGW suggests the 20 MOA rail for shooting in the 500 to 1000 yard range, and recommends zeroing at 200 yards to make the most of your scope's adjustment. If most of your shooting lives inside 500 yards, the flat 0 MOA version does the job, but for stretched-out work this is the one you want. Full-length Picatinny cross slots run the entire rail, so you've got plenty of room to set eye relief and run the rings where they feel right.
This rail is cut for large ring Mauser 98 actions and covers a wide spread of rifles, including FN Mauser actions, Interarms Mark X, Santa Barbara Mauser, Zastava M70 Mauser, Parker Hale 1200, Remington 798, Herter's XK3, and the JC Higgins Model 50/51/51-L. It does not fit the 3000 L or the Mauser M12. Since there's a lot of variation in these older receivers, it's smart to measure your hole spacing against the 3.825 inch center spread before mounting. The center channel is milled out to drop weight, and in many cases it won't block your factory iron sights.
Installation is straightforward. It's ambidextrous and accepts standard Picatinny or Weaver rings, so you're not locked into one brand. EGW calls for 20 inch-pounds of torque and a drop of blue thread locker on the screws for a mount that stays put shot after shot. The whole thing, hardware and packaging included, is made in the USA.
The 20 MOA forward cant tilts your scope slightly downward, which frees up elevation travel for long-range shooting. EGW recommends the 20 MOA version for shooting in the 500 to 1000 yard range. For best results, zero your rifle at 200 yards. If you stay inside 500 yards, the flat 0 MOA base is the better pick.
It's made for large ring Mauser 98 actions and fits a long list of rifles including FN Mauser actions, Interarms Mark X, Santa Barbara Mauser, Zastava M70 Mauser, Parker Hale 1200, Remington 798, Herter's XK3, and the JC Higgins Model 50/51/51-L. It does not fit the 3000 L or the Mauser M12. Because older receivers vary, measure your hole spacing against the 3.825 inch center spread to confirm fit before mounting.
The rail accepts any standard Picatinny or Weaver scope rings, so you can run the brand and height you prefer. Rings are not included, so you'll want to grab a set to match your scope's tube diameter. The rail does come with the #6-48 mounting screws and a T-10 Torx bit.
Make sure the rifle is unloaded, then line the rail up with your receiver's drilled and tapped holes. EGW calls for 20 inch-pounds of torque on the screws and a drop of blue thread locker to keep everything secure under recoil. The full-length cross slots let you position your rings anywhere along the rail to dial in eye relief.
