When choosing a scope base to offer to our customers we decided to look at EGW for many reasons. First EGW stands behind their products like all of our other manufactures. They have sold over 10,000 mounts and none have been returned for warping or bending. Secondly, this line of scope bases are an excellent value and can be acquired for far less than other one piece tactical bases.
One piece mounts tie the front and back of the receiver together better for a more rigid more accurate rifle. All mounts include mounting screws. This base fits Howa 1500 / Weatherby Vanguard and the Smith and Wesson 1500. The HD mounts are made of 7075 T6 (max hardness) aircraft grade aluminum and is finished in matte anodized black. Picatinny cross mounts run the full length of the rail, which gives the shooter flexibility when mounting scope rings and other accessories. EGW's HD mounts are lower in height than the tactical rails which reduces weight and gives the shooter a better cheek weld.
EGW started in 1991 making OEM products for companies including SIG arms, S&W and many individual Gunsmith's and smaller companies. Many of the top Competition shooters use EGW parts and services as do many Gunsmith's around the country. You'll find articles featuring these bases and other products on the covers of American Handgunner, Combat Handguns and Front Sight magazine.
