Egw Mauser 98 Large Ring (3-Hole) 20 Moa

The EGW Mauser 98 Large Ring scope base is a precision-machined mount purpose-built for classic Mauser 98 rifles with large ring receivers. If you're mounting an optic on a vintage Mauser or a modern reproduction, this 3-hole base delivers the repeatable, rock-solid foundation that turns an iron-sighted rifle into a modern long-range tool. The 20 MOA inclination bakes in elevation correction for high-power or long-distance shooting, reducing the scope's internal adjustment burden and keeping you in the sweet spot of the turret range.

Construction is where EGW earns trust. The base is machined from 6061 T6 aluminum extrusion—material that's rigid enough to hold zero and light enough not to add unnecessary heft to a hunting rifle. The full-width cross-slots are gauged to MIL-STD 1913 specification (±0.002"), so any Picatinny or Weaver-compatible scope ring will mount flush and stay put. The milled center channel reduces weight without compromising strength—a subtle touch that makes a difference on a hunt where every ounce counts.

Installation is straightforward. The base accepts standard socket head Torx screws (wrench included) and EGW recommends 20 inch-pounds of torque plus a drop of blue thread-locking compound to lock everything in place. This is the kind of attention to detail that separates a mount that holds zero from one that creeps.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this Mauser 98 base work with my large ring Mauser receiver?

Yes—this base is specifically engineered for Mauser 98 large ring receivers using the 3-hole mounting pattern standard to that platform.

What scope rings do I need?

Any scope rings with Picatinny or Weaver bases will mount securely to the MIL-STD 1913 rails on this base. Choose ring height and diameter to match your scope's objective and your sight picture preference.

Why is there a 20 MOA built into the base?

The 20 MOA inclination tilts the mounting plane upward, which provides additional elevation adjustment range in your scope's turrets. This keeps you in the optimal adjustment zone for long-range or high-power shooting and reduces the risk of running out of internal scope elevation.

What's included with the base?

The base comes with socket head Torx screws, a Torx wrench, and instructions. EGW recommends using 20 inch-pounds of torque and blue thread-locking compound (not included) during installation.
