Choosing the Right Scope Mount: An Expert Guide

Choosing the right rifle scope mount can seem daunting, but it all comes down to a few key concepts. Our Picatinny rails are the industry standard for strength and versatility, providing a solid platform for any set of scope rings.

What's the Difference Between Picatinny and Weaver Rails?

This is one of the most common questions we get. While they look similar, the key difference is the size and spacing of the recoil slots.

  • Picatinny Rails: Have a standardized slot width of 0.206" and consistent spacing. All Picatinny-spec rings and accessories will fit on a Picatinny rail.
  • Weaver Rails: Have a narrower slot width of 0.180" and the spacing can be inconsistent.

The EGW Advantage: All of our Picatinny scope mounts are machined to MIL-STD-1913 specifications, meaning they are compatible with both Picatinny AND Weaver-style accessories. It's the universal standard for a reason.

Frequently Asked Questions about Scope Mounts

Q: What does MOA mean on a scope mount?

A: Many of our long-range scope mounts are available with 20 MOA, 30 MOA, or even 40 MOA of built-in elevation. This downward cant is essential for long-range shooting, as it gives your scope more internal elevation adjustment to dial for distant targets.

Q: What are the different Mount Series like Standard Duty vs. Heavy Duty?

A: We offer different tiers of mounts for different applications. Our Standard Duty mounts are lightweight and perfect for most hunting and recreational shooting. Our Hunter Series and Heavy Duty mounts are more robust, designed for larger scopes and harder-recoiling rifles. For the ultimate in durability, we also offer mounts machined from solid Steel.

Q: Do your scope mounts come with screws?

A: Yes. Every EGW scope mount comes with the correct size Torx head screws and a Torx key for a proper and secure installation.
