Re: EGW bases - any good??
Yep, on a few rifles. Never had a problem with them, I'm using nightforce steel, and a set of burris xtr rings with the EGW bases.

Re: EGW bases - any good??

Re: EGW bases - any good??
My only bitch is the ones I got for my 22s and a rem 700 sa came with allen screws. If you are going to ever change the base to another rifle, Order extra screws for when the heads start to round out. Other than that they are good bases. (I have not tried the heavy duty bases.)

Re: EGW bases - any good??
All reports so far good. I need to pick one up for my 40X 22 trainer. Better start watching for the discount codes from all those Midway emails I get

Ive already had this problem. The allen wrench seemed a little to loose

Re: EGW bases - any good??
as it pertains to the rimfire bases:DIVERSIFIED INNOVATIVE PRODUCTS / EGW BASE REVIEW , i prefer the DIP over it for the features. i encountered the mounting bolt situation with the egw while doing the review.
i have an egw on my .308, it's good for the price, but again get extra or even better quality mounting bolts.

Re: EGW bases - any good??
They work great for me but the HD I prefer, but I am just that way.

Re: EGW bases - any good??
I have used several EGW bases. Two flat and one 20 MOA.
Zero issues with the flat bases, i had problems with the the angled base and got rid of it.
I recently got a weaver 20MOA one piece and I am VERY impressed. Amongst other things, it has a recoil lug. A very well made base.

Sir
I use them on my F-Class rifle. They work fine. I have won some matches and set some records with them. Great alternative to high priced bases, especially if you are nontacitcal.

Re: EGW bases - any good??
Hi we use them all the time in HD and standard we even had them do custom bases for us for target rifle actions in Australia they are great to deal with and will also make up custom bases if you have the numbers a realy good company. they are not int he league of Seekins but not the price either if you are looking for a budget quality base they are good but also as stated buy some extra torx screws and fit them at the start with the Torx screws and all will be good.
On realy big recoiling rifles the other brands with recoil lugs incorperated like the seekins and larger no8 screws are better.

Re: EGW bases - any good??
I just put an EGW pic rail base on a M70 .243W hunting rig. Excellent quality. Mine's the light duty model and is working out well with a Weaver V9 and Quad Lock rings. About $40 from Optics Planet.

Dednutz Precision here - it's holding zero and works like a charm. No sloppy and unnecessary "ring vs. base" issue, which I've always believed is an additional point of potential failure.

Re: EGW bases - any good??
I have one on my 40XB. I prefer a lugged base on centerfires so I use Seekins.
Going to give this a try for my "budget" build:
