Description
Turning an iron-sighted pump or auto-loader into a scoped slug gun or turkey rig gets a whole lot easier with the EGW HD Remington 870 Picatinny rail. This one-piece base installs directly to the factory scope mount holes on your receiver, so there's no drilling or tapping needed. It fits the Remington 870, 1100, and 11-87, and gives you a full-length Picatinny platform for mounting just about any optic you want to run.
EGW machines these in-house from solid 7075 T6 aircraft-grade aluminum, then finishes them with a Type III matte black hardcoat anodize for durability that holds up to recoil and weather. The full-width cross-slots are gauged to MIL-STD 1913 specs within a couple thousandths, so your rings seat where they should and stay put. At roughly 2.5 ounces and about 0.35 inches tall from the top of the receiver to the top of the rail, it keeps your optic low and tight to the barrel centerline without adding noticeable weight.
Why the HD 870 Rail Earns Its Keep
The cross slots run the full length of the rail, which gives you real flexibility to dial in eye relief and pick the rings and optic that fit your setup. A channel milled down the center trims extra mass, and in many cases it won't block your factory iron sights if you want to keep them in play. This is a true 0 MOA base, so it sits flat with no built-in cant, which is exactly what most slug, buckshot, and turkey shooters want at shotgun ranges.
Setting Up Your Remington 870 Scope Mount
It's an easy bench job. The rail comes with the #6-48 mounting screws and a T-10 bit, and EGW recommends torquing to 20 inch pounds with a drop of blue Loctite for a mount that won't walk on you. It accepts any Picatinny or Weaver scope rings, which keeps your options wide open whether you're running a traditional scope, a magnified optic, or a red dot. Made start to finish in the USA, it's a straightforward, well-built upgrade for anyone looking to get more out of their 870, 1100, or 11-87.

Frequently Asked Questions
What firearms does the EGW HD 870 rail fit?
This base is designed for the Remington 870, 1100, and 11-87. It installs to the factory scope mount holes already drilled and tapped on the receiver. Since some older or budget models may not come pre-drilled from the factory, it's smart to check your receiver and confirm the hole spacing matches before ordering.
Do I need to drill or tap my receiver to install it?
No. The rail bolts directly to the factory scope mount holes on the gun's receiver, so no gunsmithing is required. The #6-48 screws and T-10 bit come in the box, and EGW recommends 20 inch pounds of torque with a drop of blue Loctite for a secure, lasting install.
What kind of rings work with this rail?
It's a Picatinny-style base with full-width cross-slots cut to MIL-STD 1913 specs, so it accepts any standard Picatinny or Weaver scope rings. That gives you plenty of flexibility to run a scope, a magnified optic, or a red dot and to fine-tune your eye relief along the length of the rail.
What does 0 MOA mean on this mount?
A 0 MOA rail sits flat with no built-in forward cant, keeping your optic level with the bore. For a shotgun used with slugs, buckshot, or turkey loads at typical ranges, 0 MOA is the right call since you don't need the extra elevation that longer-range rifle setups benefit from.
