The EGW Howa Mini Action 1-Piece Picatinny Base is a solid, American-made scope mount engineered for shooters running compact actions on their bolt rifles. If you're building or upgrading a Howa Mini action rifle and need a dependable one-piece mount that won't shift zero, this is a straightforward choice that handles the job with no fuss. The 0 MOA configuration makes it ideal for shooters working within typical hunting and range distances—think 0 to 500 yards—where you don't need the extra elevation built into the mount itself.
What sets EGW's approach apart is the attention to detail in manufacturing and finish. Each base is machined in-house on EGW's equipment, then tumbled, sand-blasted, and Type III anodized to weather the seasons and hard use. The beveled design on both sides means it works ambidextrous—no orientation headaches during installation. Full-length Picatinny cross slots give you flexibility to position scope rings or other rail-mounted accessories exactly where you need them, and the design accepts standard Picatinny or Weaver rings, so you're not locked into proprietary gear.
Before you order, EGW makes it clear to measure your receiver's hole spacing and confirm it matches their published dimensions—a simple step that prevents the frustration of a misfit. Installation is straightforward: 20 inch-pounds of torque and a drop of blue Loctite (sold separately) will secure the screws. The entire assembly, from the mounting hardware to the wrench and packaging, is manufactured in the USA, which aligns with the preference many shooters have for domestic-made components.
