Description
The EGW SIG SHR 970 20 MOA scope mount gives the Swiss Hunting Rifle a proper Picatinny platform without any drilling or tapping. It drops right onto the factory scope mount holes on the receiver, so you get a clean, repeatable install and a rail that plays nice with any Picatinny or Weaver scope rings you already own. The 20 MOA built-in cant tilts your optic forward, which keeps more usable elevation in your scope when you start stretching things out past 500 yards.
Why the SHR 970 20 MOA Rail Earns Its Spot
EGW machines this one from domestic 6061 T6 extruded aluminum and finishes it in matte black Type II anodizing, so it shrugs off weather and handling without drawing attention in the field. It runs about 6.67 inches long with a 3.68 inch center spread, sits roughly four tenths of an inch above the receiver, and tips the scale at just a couple of ounces. The full-length Picatinny cross-slots are gauged to MIL-STD 1913 spec, giving you plenty of room to slide rings fore and aft and dial in exactly the eye relief you want.
Built for Reach on the SIG SHR 970
That 20 MOA angle is the move if you shoot longer distances, roughly the 500 to 1000 yard range, where the extra cant lets you keep your reticle centered instead of running out of adjustment. The milled center channel trims weight and, in a lot of setups, leaves your factory iron sights usable underneath. It's ambidextrous too, so lefties and righties get the same clean fit.
Installing the EGW SHR 970 Mount
Everything you need to get going comes in the box. EGW recommends torquing the screws to around 20 inch pounds with a drip of blue thread locker to keep things locked down under recoil. Owners consistently report it fits perfectly and installs in minutes, which is exactly what you want from a base that's the foundation for your whole optic setup.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the SIG SHR 970 20 MOA rail require drilling or tapping?
No drilling or tapping needed. The rail is made to drop right onto the factory scope mount holes on your SHR 970 receiver. You just clean the holes, add a drip of blue thread locker, and torque the included screws down.
What does the 20 MOA cant do for me?
The 20 MOA built-in angle tilts your optic slightly forward, which banks extra elevation adjustment for longer shots. It's the right pick if you're shooting roughly 500 to 1000 yards and want to keep your reticle more centered without running out of travel in your scope. For shorter distances a 0 MOA base is usually plenty.
Will this rail work with my existing scope rings?
Yes. It's a true Picatinny profile with full-length cross-slots gauged to MIL-STD 1913, so it accepts both Picatinny and Weaver scope rings. The multiple slots also let you shift your rings forward or back to nail down proper eye relief.
Can I still use my iron sights with the SHR 970 mount installed?
In many setups, yes. The milled center channel that lightens the rail also tends to leave a clear line to the factory iron sights underneath. It depends on your exact sight configuration, so it's worth a quick check once it's mounted.
