Re: Base and Rings For EGW what we decided on for the steel rails was 4140, heat treat the blanks to 32-35 rc, than machine in that condition. They stay strait typically .001 to .002 over the length on a surface plate. Mil spec Parkerize finish is not as corrosion resistant as Hard coat but...

Re: Scope mounting screw confusion?!?! Many / Most bolt action rifles, Remington, Winchester, Savage typically use 6x48 screws to attach a scope base to there rifles. 6x48 is a special thread not the normal 6-32 or 6-40 pitch. A number 6 screw is about .138 in diameter. the second number is...

Re: Howa 1500 scope base options??? Today we just received our first run of 1500 Short action 0 and 20 moa bases back from Hard Coat. This mount will be available only in our HD line. This mount will fit the Howa SA as well as the older 1500 Mossberg, S&W 1500, and the Vanguard. Available in...

Re: EGW - Wrong Rail Screws for T3 We contacted Tikka They said all are 6x48. That may be all going to US? Not sure. The 3.5 x .5 are a special thread. They are within .001 of the 6x48 in both diameter and pitch. One issue is the rifles seem to be drilled and tapped. THAN they serrate the top...

Re: Need Help What Base and rings Legacy imports the Howa 1500 and has the exclusive on the mount. I believe the best price is through Midway. geo www.egwguns.com

Re: shim scope base? Howa has a One in 2xx-400 gun thing where they need a 20 moa base to zero the gun in. No explanation but they are out there. IF they can point down it is logical that they on occasion could have a one in 800 thing where the barrel points up. If your scope works on other...

Re: Aluminum vs. Steel Scope Mounts Thank you USMC, I appreciate that. I think it is worth noting that wile we have the 7075 HD rails the Std. Tactical rail far outsells the HD and Steel for us. Wile we here on Snipers Hide have our 1000.00 and 1600.00 and more dollar scopes the vast...

Re: Aluminum vs. Steel Scope Mounts And if you jump up to 69.99 for the EGW 7075 T6 base it is apples for apples. Of course the Heat treated 4140 rail is 119.99 if you prefer. geo

Re: Why you HAVE to bed mounting bases on Rem 700's! Matt finished receivers are flatter than the polished ones and more consistant. Winchester is far worse, we have measured -.012 to +.011 on a regular basis Rem's are not THAT bad. geo www.egwguns.com

Re: One scope on multiple rifles? Anyone do this? We had a custome that had a high dollar scope and was switching between a LA and SA remington rifle. What impressed me was the move from one rifle to the other was 5 clicks Left and One click of elevation to switch. Very Close. geo...
