The MDT Howa 1500 SA 20 MOA scope base is a precision Picatinny rail system built for shooters who demand repeatability and flexibility in their long-range rifle setup. Engineered specifically for Howa 1500 short-action receivers, this scope base combines a built-in 20 MOA elevation cant with true MIL-STD 1913 spec rail design, giving you extra adjustment range for extended-distance shooting without relying on your scope's turrets alone. Whether you're dialing long-range hunting loads or setting up for precision rifle matches, this base gives your optic a stable, repeatable platform.
MDT profiles the underside of the rail to sit flush against your Howa receiver, matching the ejection port geometry so there's no wobble or rocking. The integrated recoil lug absorbs impact directly, preventing stress on mounting hardware and protecting your zero through repeated firing. This rail accepts both Picatinny and Weaver-style rings, so you're not locked into one ring brand—choose what works best for your scope and eye relief needs. The 6061 T6 aluminum construction handles recoil reliably, and the mil-spec Type III hard anodized finish is built tough enough for field use without looking like it came off a shelf yesterday.
Setup is straightforward: the base includes all necessary mounting hardware, and the contoured design prevents snagging on gear or brush. If you're running a short-action Howa and want the precision accuracy advantage that comes from pre-built elevation correction, this is a no-nonsense choice that works as hard as you do.

Yes—this scope base is designed specifically for the Howa 1500 short-action receiver. The underside is profiled to match the Howa receiver geometry and ejection port for a flush fit.
The 20 MOA built-in elevation cant gives you extra upward adjustment range without maxing out your scope's turrets. This is particularly useful for long-range hunting or target shooting where you need to dial elevation for distant targets. It also improves your scope's usable adjustment range compared to a zero-MOA base.
The Picatinny rail (MIL-STD 1913 spec) accepts both Picatinny and Weaver-style scope rings, giving you flexibility to choose the rings that work best for your scope and preferred eye relief.
