Maximum Compatibility: The EGW Picatinny & Weaver Advantage

Don't get locked into one system. EGW scope mounts are machined to the strict MIL-STD-1913 Picatinny specification, but with a key advantage: our versatile cross-slots are engineered to securely accept both Picatinny and most Weaver-style rings. This gives you the flexibility to use your preferred optics and accessories with confidence, ensuring consistent, repeatable optic placement.

Uncompromising Quality & Premium Materials

Every EGW scope mount is CNC machined from a solid billet of American-sourced metal for a perfect, action-specific fit. We choose the best material for the job to guarantee a mount that eliminates movement and withstands rigorous use.

  • High-Grade 6061 T6 Aluminum: The ideal choice for a lightweight yet incredibly strong mount, perfect for hunting and competition rifles.
  • Ultra-Strong 7075 T6 Aluminum: For demanding applications requiring maximum rigidity and strength from an aluminum platform.
  • Heavy-Duty Steel: The ultimate choice for shooters seeking maximum durability, stability, and recoil resistance.

Finished with a rugged Type 3 hardcoat anodizing (aluminum) or parkerized coating (steel), our mounts are built to resist a lifetime of corrosion and wear.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between Picatinny and Weaver?

The primary difference lies in the dimensions and spacing of the recoil slots. Picatinny rails are built to the strict MIL-STD-1913 specification, featuring wider, square-bottomed slots at consistent intervals. Weaver rails have narrower slots that can be spaced inconsistently.

While Picatinny-specific accessories will not fit in Weaver slots, our mounts are designed to accept both Picatinny and most Weaver-style rings. For a complete breakdown of the specifications and a guide to ensuring compatibility, read our detailed article: Picatinny vs. Weaver Rails.

Are EGW Picatinny rails MIL-STD-1913 compliant?

Yes, absolutely. Every Picatinny rail we manufacture is precision-machined to the official U.S. MIL-STD-1913 specification. This ensures a consistent, reliable, and universal mounting platform that will fit any true Picatinny-compatible rings and accessories. When you buy an EGW mount, you are buying a part built to a proven, military-grade standard.

What torque specs should I use for EGW mounts?

Proper torque is critical for a secure mount that holds zero. We recommend the following general specifications:

  • Base to Receiver Screws: 20 inch-pounds
  • Ring Screws (attaching scope): 15 inch-pounds

IMPORTANT: This is a general guideline. Always consult the torque specifications recommended by your specific rifle and scope ring manufacturer to prevent damage to your firearm or optic.

Which material is better for my needs: aluminum or steel?

Both materials create an exceptionally strong and reliable mount, but they are optimized for different applications.

  • Choose High-Grade Aluminum if... your primary concerns are minimizing weight and preventing corrosion. Our 6061 T6 and 7075 T6 aluminum mounts are incredibly strong yet lightweight, making them the perfect choice for hunting rifles, competition guns, and any build where every ounce matters.
  • Choose Heavy-Duty Steel if... your priority is maximum durability and recoil absorption. Steel mounts are ideal for heavy-recoiling magnum calibers, demanding tactical applications, and shooters who want the absolute most rugged and stable platform possible.
