Upgrade your Winchester's optical platform with premium, American-made scope mounts from EGW. Precision CNC-machined from solid domestic bar stock, our one-piece Picatinny rails are engineered to match exact Winchester receiver radii and screw-hole layouts.

Evolution Gun Works (EGW) manufactures American-made Picatinny scope rails for Winchester rifles and shotguns. Choose your rail by the exact firearm model, receiver pattern, action length, and mounting-hole spacing.
A Winchester Model 70 rail is not interchangeable with an XPR or Xpert rail. Even within the Model 70 family, standard/long action, short action, WSM, and WSSM receivers use different mounting patterns. Compare your firearm with the fitment information on the individual product page before ordering.
The measurements below are the center-to-center distance between the two middle mounting holes. This is the middle-hole spacing, not the distance between the front and rear ends of the rail.
| Receiver Pattern | Middle-Hole Spacing | Matching 0 MOA Rail |
|---|---|---|
| Model 70 Pre-1964 / Post-1964 Long Action | 3.805 inches | Model 70 Standard/Long Action |
| Model 70 Short Action | 3.259 inches | Model 70 Short Action |
| Model 70 WSM | 3.514 inches | Model 70 WSM |
| Model 70 WSSM | 3.225 inches | Model 70 WSSM |
Model-specific exceptions: The Model 70 Coyote in .243 uses the WSM rail. EGW has also encountered some Featherweight Compact rifles in 6.5 Creedmoor with the WSM mounting pattern. Confirm the receiver's actual hole spacing rather than selecting a mount by caliber alone.
XPR rails are specific to the XPR platform and do not fit the Model 70. Confirm your action length and the product's published dimensions before ordering.
Start with your receiver pattern and compare the middle-hole spacing with the table above. EGW lists separate rails for the pre-1964 / post-1964 long action pattern, short action, WSM, and WSSM. Check the individual product page for exceptions, including the Model 70 Coyote in .243.
No. Choose an XPR-specific rail for your receiver. EGW offers separate XPR Short Action and XPR Long Action rails; Model 70 rails are not substitutes for these mounts.
No. The Xpert .22 LR / .21 Sharp bolt-action models and Xpert Magnum models require different rails. The Xpert .22 LR rail also does not fit the semi-automatic Wildcat. Use the exact model's product page to confirm compatibility.
Check the hardware list on the exact product page. The Model 70 rails linked here list #6-48 screws, while the XPR rails list #8-40 screws. These are different thread sizes, so match the rail and hardware to the intended receiver. Other Winchester models and applications can have different requirements.
