The EGW Howa 1500/Weatherby Vanguard short action scope base is a one-piece steel mount engineered to give you a solid, low-profile foundation for your optic without the hassle of gunsmithing. Built for hunters and shooters running a Howa 1500 or Weatherby Vanguard short action, this base bolts directly to your rifle's factory receiver holes—no drilling, no tapping, no trips to the gunsmith. The integrated Picatinny rail lets you dial in your sight picture quickly and adjust eye relief on the fly, and it plays nice with either Picatinny or Weaver rings, so you're not locked into one ring choice.
EGW machined this base from 4140 carbon steel, pre-hardened to Rc 35-35, for the rigidity you need when you're pushing shots downrange or hunting in rough country. The 0 MOA design sits lower than lightweight mounts, keeping your scope closer to the bore for a flatter sight line and cleaner ballistics. Every cross-slot is gauged to military spec (MIL-STD 1913) within .002 inches—real precision in a piece of steel that won't let you down. You get socket head Torx screws and the wrench to install them; EGW recommends 20 inch-pounds of torque and a dab of blue Loctite to lock everything in place.
Whether you're dialing in a long-range hunting rig or setting up a tack-driving range gun, a quality scope base is non-negotiable, and this one delivers the repeatability and strength your rifle deserves.
