The EGW 42102 is a one-piece Picatinny scope base made specifically for the Winchester Model 70, covering pre-'64 standard action rifles and post-'64 long actions. It carries 20 MOA of built-in elevation cant, which is the sweet spot for anyone wanting to reach out to longer distances without running out of adjustment in their scope's internal travel. If you've got a classic Model 70 and want to move past old-school two-piece bases, this is a clean way to modernize the top of your rifle.
This rail is machined from domestic 6061 T6 extruded aluminum and finished in matte black anodizing, so it holds up to weather and recoil without adding much weight. It tips the scale at right around 2 ounces, thanks to a milled-out center channel that trims mass without giving up rigidity. The cross-slots run the full length of the rail and are cut to MIL-STD 1913 Picatinny spec, so you get plenty of room to slide your rings fore and aft and dial in proper eye relief.
The center spread measures 3.805 inches, which matches the long action and pre-'64 hole spacing. Beyond the Model 70, this same base fits the Winchester Model 670, the Marlin XL7 and XS7, plus the Sears Model 53 and Ted Williams Model 53. One thing worth noting: the Winchester Coyote chambered in .243 uses the WSM pattern instead, so that one needs a different mount. It's always smart to measure your receiver's middle hole spacing before ordering to confirm you've got the right action length.
Installation is straightforward and bolts directly to the factory scope mount holes, no drilling or tapping required. The kit ships with socket head Torx screws and the matching wrench, so you've got what you need to get it on. EGW recommends torquing the screws to 20 inch-pounds and adding a dab of blue Loctite to keep everything locked in and holding zero shot after shot.
Yes, the 42102 is designed for the Winchester Model 70 pre-'64 standard action, and it also fits post-'64 long action rifles. The center hole spread is 3.805 inches, which matches those receivers. It mounts to the factory scope holes with no drilling or tapping needed, but measuring your receiver's middle hole spacing first is always a good idea to confirm the fit.
The 20 MOA of built-in elevation tilts the rail slightly forward, giving your scope extra travel for longer shots. It's the go-to choice if you're planning to shoot out past 500 yards and want to keep plenty of adjustment left in your optic. For shorter range work inside 500 yards, a 0 MOA base would do the job, but 20 MOA gives you the room to stretch out.
This is a Picatinny-style rail, so it works with any Picatinny or Weaver scope rings. The full-length cross-slots give you plenty of room to position your rings and set proper eye relief. Rings are sold separately, so pick a set that matches your scope tube diameter and the height you need for your objective bell.
It does. The base ships with socket head Torx screws and the matching wrench, so you have what you need to get it mounted. EGW recommends torquing to 20 inch-pounds and using a dab of blue Loctite to keep it from backing out under recoil.
