If you're mounting glass on a Browning X-Bolt Short Action, a quality base is where accuracy starts, and this EGW rail (part number 81020) is a straightforward way to get it right. It's a one-piece Picatinny mount machined from solid 7075 T6 aircraft-grade aluminum and finished in a matte black hardcoat, so it holds zero and shrugs off field abuse without adding noticeable weight. The full-length cross slots run the entire rail, which gives you plenty of room to slide your rings fore and aft and dial in exactly the eye relief you want.
This is a 0 MOA base, which makes it the sweet spot for most hunting and target work inside roughly 500 yards. With no built-in cant, your scope sits level and your internal elevation stays centered, which is ideal for general-purpose shooting where you're not stretching things out past the 500-yard mark. It also plays nice with quick-disconnect rings, so if you run a QD setup you're covered.
The rail is cut specifically for the Browning X-Bolt Short Action with a 2.94-inch center spread and a 6.184-inch overall length, sitting right around a half inch above the receiver. Because action lengths can vary from gun to gun, it's smart to measure your receiver's hole spacing before install to confirm the fit. Worth noting, this one is built for the standard short action and is not meant for the Super Short Action X-Bolt rifles.
Installation is painless. The mount comes with the correct Torx screws and a bit in the box, so you can get to work without hunting for hardware. EGW suggests torquing the screws to 20 inch-pounds with a drop of blue thread locker to keep everything locked down through recoil and rough handling. Made in the USA and compatible with both Picatinny and Weaver rings, it's a clean upgrade for anyone who wants their optic sitting on a base that won't let them down.
This base is cut specifically for the Browning X-Bolt Short Action, covering popular short-action chamberings. It is not designed for the Super Short Action X-Bolt rifles. Since action lengths can differ between guns, it's a good idea to measure your receiver's hole spacing against the 2.94-inch center spread before installing.
The 0 MOA rail is the go-to choice for most hunting and target shooting inside roughly 500 yards, keeping your scope level with no built-in cant. If you plan to stretch out past that for long-range dialing, a 20 MOA base helps preserve your scope's internal elevation. For general use, 0 MOA is the practical pick.
Yes. It ships with the correct Torx screws and a T-10 bit, so you have what you need to get it on the rifle. EGW recommends torquing to 20 inch-pounds and adding a drop of blue thread locker to keep everything secure under recoil.
The cross slots run the full length of the rail, so it accepts both Picatinny and Weaver style rings. It's also compatible with quick-disconnect rings if you run a QD setup. The full-length slots give you flexibility to position your scope exactly where you want it for proper eye relief.
