If you've been running a scope on a two-piece base or you're setting up a fresh Howa 1500 or Weatherby Vanguard short action, this EGW rail is one of the easiest upgrades you can make. It's a single-piece Picatinny mount cut from solid 7075-T6 aircraft grade aluminum, so it's stiff where it counts and shaves weight off your build. The cross slots run the full width of the rail and are machined to MIL-STD 1913 specs, which means your rings sit square and your optic stays where you put it.
This is a 0 MOA base, so it adds no elevation bias to your setup. That makes it the straightforward pick when your scope already has the internal adjustment you need, and it's a comfortable match for general-purpose shooting and hunting inside 500 yards. The full-length Picatinny spacing also gives you real flexibility to slide rings fore and aft and nail down your eye relief, which matters a lot more than people think when you're swapping optics or chasing a comfortable cheek weld.
The rail wears a Type III hardcoat anodized finish in matte black, so it shrugs off handling, weather, and years of use without looking tired. It measures 6.670 inches overall with a center spread of 3.886 inches and sits about 0.35 inches above the receiver, tipping the scale at a featherweight 2.5 ounces. It's beveled on both sides, making it fully ambidextrous, and it plays nice with quick-disconnect rings if you like to pull your optic.
This mount drops onto the factory scope holes of the Howa 1500 short action and the Weatherby Vanguard short action, since both rifles share the same receiver. It also fits older Ruger M77s with radiused receivers. One thing to note: it is not made for the Howa 1500 Superlite. Everything is machined, tumbled, and packaged in the USA, and the mounting hardware comes in the box so you can get it on the gun the same day it shows up.
Yes. The Weatherby Vanguard short action uses the same receiver as the Howa 1500 short action, so this rail bolts right onto either rifle's factory scope holes. It also fits older Ruger M77s with radiused receivers. It is not designed for the Howa 1500 Superlite, so if you have that model, look elsewhere.
A 0 MOA rail is neutral and adds no built-in elevation, which is ideal for general hunting and range use out to roughly 500 yards when your scope already has the adjustment range you need. A 20 MOA rail tilts the optic slightly to free up elevation travel for longer-distance shooting. If you're not reaching way out past 500 yards, the 0 MOA version here is the simple, versatile choice.
It does. The rail ships with #6-48 x 1/4 screws and a T-10 bit so you can install it without an extra trip to the hardware store. EGW recommends torquing the screws to 20 in/lbs and adding a small drop of blue thread locker to keep everything secure under recoil.
Most likely, yes. The rail is machined to MIL-STD 1913 Picatinny spec and works with both Picatinny and Weaver style rings, and it's compatible with quick-disconnect rings too. That gives you plenty of freedom to run the optic and rings you already trust.
