In the realm of precision shooting, a solid and reliable scope mount is as crucial as the rifle itself. Enter the EGW Winchester 70 Long Action Scope Base—a testament to engineering excellence crafted for those who demand nothing less than perfection.
This particular base is machined from high-grade 6061-T6 extruded aluminum, renowned for its strength and resilience without unnecessary weight. The matte black finish not only enhances its stealthy appearance but also provides an additional layer of protection against wear and corrosion.
Designed specifically for the classic Winchester Model 70 Long Action rifles (Pre '64), this scope base offers a zero MOA configuration, perfect for shooters who prefer maintaining their optics in line with their bore axis at all distances. Precision matters here; thus, it features an overall length of 7.064 inches with a center spread measuring precisely 3.805 inches—ensuring optimal alignment on your receiver.
The installation process is straightforward yet demands attention to detail: hex head screws accompany your purchase along with a wrench to ensure secure attachment. EGW recommends applying torque up to 20 inch pounds coupled with a drip of blue Loctite for steadfast stability under recoil.
For those serious about their marksmanship pursuits, this scope base serves not merely as an accessory but as an indispensable component that underscores reliability and accuracy in every shot taken.
