The EGW Tikka 695 scope base brings genuine flexibility to your shotgun setup without the gunsmith bill. This one-piece Picatinny rail mounts directly to factory scope mount holes on Tikka receivers—no drilling, no tapping, no permanent modifications. Whether you're running a rifled barrel for slugs or experimenting with different optic configurations, a proper mounting platform beats improvising every time.
Built from 6061 T6 extruded aluminum and precision-machined to MIL-STD 1913 specs (±.002"), the EGW base gives you full-width cross-slots that accept both Picatinny and Weaver scope rings. That means you're not locked into one ring system—swap mounting solutions as your needs change. The tactical design includes a milled center channel to keep weight where it matters, and the Picatinny spacing lets you dial in eye relief quickly without repositioning the entire base.
Installation is straightforward: the base comes with socket head Torx screws and the wrench to drive them. EGW recommends 20 inch-pounds of torque and a drop of blue Loctite for a solid, long-term mount. It's a clean, no-fuss way to get a modern optic platform on a shotgun that came with iron sights—or to upgrade an existing setup without tearing into the receiver.
