The EGW Ruger 10/22 20 MOA Silver scope base transforms your rimfire into a precision-ready platform without a gunsmith visit. This one-piece aluminum rail mounts directly to your 10/22's factory receiver holes—no drilling, no tapping—and brings Picatinny standardization to a rifle that deserves better than factory iron sights. Whether you're building a match-grade plinker, a small-game hunter, or just want to upgrade optics flexibility on your favorite .22, this base delivers the foundation.
Built from 6061 T6 extruded aluminum and precision-machined to MIL-STD 1913 specs, the EGW base is rigid and lightweight. The 20 MOA angle gives you built-in elevation for shooting longer distances—a smart choice if you plan to stretch the effective range of your 10/22. Picatinny slot-and-rail design means you can dial in eye relief exactly where you need it and swap scope rings or optics without resetting everything. Whether you prefer Picatinny or Weaver rings, this base accepts both, so you're not locked into one ecosystem.
Installation is straightforward: the base uses socket head Torx screws (included, along with the wrench), and EGW's recommendation of 20 inch-pounds of torque with a touch of blue Loctite ensures a solid, repeatable mount. The result is a mount that stays put and keeps your zero intact through seasons of shooting.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this EGW base fit my Ruger 10/22 without gunsmithing?
Yes. The base mounts directly to the factory scope mount holes on the 10/22 receiver with no drilling or tapping needed. Just align it, insert the included Torx screws, and torque to 20 inch-pounds with blue Loctite.
What does the 20 MOA angle do?
The 20 MOA angle tilts the rail upward slightly, giving your scope more elevation adjustment range. This is useful if you plan to shoot your 10/22 at longer distances and want to hold or dial in for elevation without running out of scope adjustment.
Can I use my existing scope rings on this base?
Yes, as long as they have Picatinny or Weaver mounts. The EGW base accepts both, so you have flexibility in ring choice.
What's included in the package?
The EGW scope base includes the one-piece aluminum rail, socket head Torx screws for mounting, and the Torx wrench needed for installation. You'll need your own scope rings and scope.
