Hunter Series Picatinny Rails

Hunter Series Picatinny Rails (7075 T6, Chamfered Edge, Shorter Front)

The "Goldilocks" Rail:
We took the ultra-strong 7075 T6 Aluminum from our HD series and machined a chamfered edge at the back and a shorter front end of the rail. The result? An incredibly strong rail that can give you better eye relief and won't snag on gear or brush.

Your hunting rifle deserves a mount that looks as good as it performs. The EGW Hunter Series is designed for the shooter who demands the strength of a tactical rail but prefers the sleek aesthetics of a sporter. By rounding the sharp edge on the back of the rails, we created a low-profile mount that slides easily in and out of gun cases and scabbards without snagging.

The Premium Choice: Form Meets Function

We developed the Hunter Series because many shooters loved the strength of our Heavy Duty rails but felt they looked too "blocky" or tactical on a fine walnut-stocked rifle. The Hunter Series bridges that gap, offering the ultimate combination of sleek sporter aesthetics and tactical durability.

The Hunter Series Advantage

We took the ultra-strong 7075 T6 Aluminum from our HD series and refined the profile for the dedicated hunter.

Shorter Front End: We shortened the front of the rail to provide better flexibility for eye relief and scope positioning without hanging over the barrel.
Chamfered Rear Edge: By rounding the sharp edges at the back of the rail, we created a snag-free mount that slides easily in and out of gun cases and scabbards.
7075 T6 Strength: Despite the sleeker profile, it retains the massive rigidity of our tactical rails.

Hunter Series vs. Standard vs. Heavy Duty

Is this the right rail for you? Here is how it compares:

Hunter Series (This Page): Best for dedicated hunting rifles. Features a shorter front end and rounded back for a snag-free profile, while keeping the superior strength of 7075 T6 aluminum.
Standard Duty: Our most affordable option. Made from 6061 aluminum with a standard square profile. Perfect for general purpose use where you want to save money and weight.
Heavy Duty (HD) Series: The tactical choice. Made from the same strong 7075 aluminum as the Hunter series, but with a full-length square profile for maximum rail space and a rugged look.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the shorter front affect mounting?

For most scopes, no. The shorter front end is designed to eliminate overhang while still providing plenty of rail space for standard scope rings. It actually helps accommodate larger objective bells that might otherwise touch a full-length rail.

Should I get 0 MOA or 20 MOA?

0 MOA: Recommended for most hunting situations inside 0-500 yards.
20 MOA: Recommended if you plan to dial your shots out past 500-600 yards. It cants the scope down, giving you more "up" elevation in your turret.
