Egw Knight Bolt Action Muzzleloader 1-Pc Picatinny Base 0 Moa

The EGW Knight Bolt Action Muzzleloader one-piece Picatinny scope base brings modern optics mounting to traditional muzzleloaders. Purpose-built for Knight-pattern receivers, this 0 MOA base gives you a solid, unified platform for mounting quality glass on your muzzleloader—eliminating the wobble and shift that can come from two-piece bases. Whether you're hunting whitetail at distance or running precision rounds at the range, a rigid one-piece base is the foundation for consistent, repeatable accuracy.

EGW machines these bases in-house and finishes them with the durability hunters demand. After machining, each base is tumbled, sand-blasted, and Type II anodized to resist corrosion through years of field use. The full-length Picatinny rail gives you flexibility in ring and accessory placement, and the centerline channel reduces overall weight without compromising rigidity. In many setups, this design won't interfere with factory iron sights, giving you backup options if your primary optic fails.

Installation is straightforward: EGW recommends 20 inch-pounds of torque and a drop of blue Loctite to keep everything locked in place. Before ordering, measure the receiver hole spacing on your specific Knight action to confirm it matches EGW's published dimensions for perfect fit.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this base fit my Knight muzzleloader?

This base is machined for Knight-pattern receivers. EGW strongly recommends measuring the hole spacing on your specific receiver and comparing it to their published dimensions before ordering to ensure proper fit.

Can I still use iron sights with this base installed?

In most cases, yes. The center channel design is engineered to avoid obstructing factory iron sights, giving you a backup aiming option. Fit depends on your specific receiver and sight configuration, so verify clearance before your first hunt.

How do I install this scope base?

EGW recommends torquing the mounting bolts to 20 inch-pounds and applying a small drop of blue Loctite (sold separately) to the fasteners. Use a quality torque wrench to ensure even, correct clamping pressure.

What makes a one-piece base better than a two-piece design?

A one-piece base eliminates the movement and flex that can develop between separate front and rear base sections, giving you more consistent, repeatable scope mounting and better accuracy potential downrange.
