Mounting glass on a Howa 1500 long action rifle is a whole lot easier when you start with the right rail, and MDT built this one to take the guesswork out of it. It's a one-piece Picatinny base cut specifically for the Howa 1500 long action, with a 30 MOA forward cant that hands you back a chunk of elevation travel when you're dialing for longer shots. The underside is profiled to sit flush against the receiver and follow the shape of the ejection port, so it drops on clean without any fuss.
MDT machines these rails from 6061-T6 aircraft-grade aluminum and finishes them with a Mil-Spec Type II hard anodize, so it shrugs off wear and weather out in the field. The cross slots are cut to MIL-STD-1913 and STANAG 4694 spec, which means your rings and accessories lock in exactly where they should. There's also an integrated recoil lug worked into the underside profile, giving the base extra bite against heavy recoil so your zero stays put shot after shot.
That 30 MOA incline is the big selling point here. Instead of running out of elevation in your scope's turret when you reach out past a few hundred yards, the built-in cant gives your optic more usable range to work with. It's a favorite setup for anyone shooting the Howa 1500 in the bigger long-action chamberings like .270 Win, .30-06, .300 Win Mag, and 7mm Rem Mag, where stretching the distance is part of the fun.
The whole rail is contoured for snag-free handling, so nothing hangs up on your gear or clothing. It ships with #6-48 Torx mounting screws, and the base comes drilled to accept #8-40 screws as well if you want to step up. A dab of blue thread locker on each screw during install is never a bad idea to keep everything locked tight.
No, this base is cut specifically for the Howa 1500 long action and matches that receiver footprint. If you're running a short action, you'll want the short action version instead. MDT makes dedicated bases for the short action and mini action as well, so there's a correct fit for whichever Howa 1500 you own.
The 30 MOA incline tilts the rail forward, which frees up a good amount of elevation adjustment in your scope's turret. That extra travel is what lets you dial for targets at longer distances without maxing out your optic. It's especially handy on the long-action chamberings the Howa 1500 is known for.
It ships with #6-48 Torx mounting screws, which is the standard hardware for this base. The rail is also drilled to accommodate #8-40 screws if you prefer to run those. A touch of blue thread locker during installation helps keep everything secure under recoil.
Yes, MDT built a recoil lug into the underside profile of this base. That lug gives the rail extra stability against the rifle's recoil and helps your zero hold through repeated shots. The underside is also contoured to sit flush on the receiver and follow the ejection port geometry.
