Egw Remington 870 0 Moa

The EGW Remington 870 scope base brings modern optics mounting to your shotgun without a trip to the gunsmith. This one-piece Picatinny rail mounts directly to your 870, 1100, or 1187's factory receiver holes—no drilling, no tapping, no hassle. Whether you're setting up a turkey gun, a slugster, or a tactical 870, a solid scope base is the foundation of any accurate setup, and EGW's heavy-duty design keeps your optic low and rigid for the shot that matters.

Built from 7075 T6 extruded aluminum and precision-machined to military standard (MIL-STD 1913), this base accepts any standard Picatinny or Weaver rings, giving you complete flexibility in optic choice and eye relief adjustment. The heavy-duty profile sits 0.100 inch lower than lightweight alternatives, keeping your sight picture closer to the barrel centerline and reducing weight where it counts. Every slot and rail is gauged to tolerances of ±.002 inch, so your rings will lock in tight and stay there through recoil and seasons of hunting.

Installation is straightforward: the base arrives with socket head Torx screws and wrench included. EGW specs 20 inch-pounds of torque and recommends a drop of blue Loctite for permanent security. Once mounted, you'll have the kind of rock-solid foundation that turns a shotgun into a precision instrument—whether you're hunting at distance or running drills on the range.
