I'm looking to replace two piece bases on several rifles with one piece rails. I want good quality at a reasonable price. EGW seems to fit the bill. Anybody have any experience, good, bad, or indifferent?

Re: EGW bases

Re: EGW bases
I'm replacing on a light wt mountain rifle and two varmint guns. Want to keep the weight down on the mtn rifle. Doing this to ease scope interchangeability between rifles.

IMHO, you are wise to go from two piece to one piece mounts.
I have an EGW 20MOA HD on my T3 Tactical. It went on easily and has worked very well.
I say go for it.

Re: EGW bases
I suggest Weaver Tactical Picatinny bases. I have EGW and prefer the Weaver brand pieces.

Re: EGW bases
I've got EGW bases on both of my hunting rifles and haven't had any problems with 'em.

Re: EGW bases
EGW bases have worked for me on both my Rem and Win bolt guns. I just wish that they made a 30 moa version for Win 70 wsm actions.

Re: EGW bases
They are good value for money.
The EGW - HD bases are very slightly lower than the regular EGW bases, have full width rails, and are made out of hard anodized 7 series aluminum.

Re: EGW bases
I have two EGW bases and theyre great, just get low rings and youll be fine.
And btw, if you call EGW they can make a base with whatever cant you want.

Did you ask. They will make most things. They have made a couple for me for different things. Just call and ask for more MOA

Re: EGW bases
Will someone measure their egw one piece base and see how high it sits above the action. I've got night force two piece base and just got my seekins high rings and the scope tube hits the barrel. If these bases are a little higher as u say, they might be just what I need also.

Re: EGW bases
Just bought my third EGW base. Have a 20MOA S/A LH base, a 20 MOA L/A LH base, and just got a 0 MOA L/A LH base. Great value.

Re: EGW bases
just put one on my tikka 595. looks to be a good product. about 2 notches hang over the receiver and i'm gonna have to cut them off to clear obj bell. the extra length is good and likely needed for longer scopes.

Sometimes rings won't go low enough. I've switched out my egw for Badgers.
