The EGW Weatherby Mark V (9-Lug Bolt) 20 MOA scope base brings serious versatility to one of the most reliable bolt-action platforms on the market. Built for shooters who demand a solid, no-nonsense mounting solution, this one-piece Picatinny rail installs directly to your Mark V receiver using the factory scope mount holes—no drilling, no tapping, no gunsmithing required. The 20 MOA inclination is built right in, giving long-range hunters and precision shooters a built-in elevation advantage that extends your effective shooting distance without burning through dial adjustments.
EGW machines these bases from ultra-rigid 7075 T6 extruded aluminum, the same material specs you'll find in precision-engineered firearms and aircraft components. The Picatinny slots are gauged to MIL-STD 1913 spec with tolerances of +/-.002 inches, meaning your rings will sit flat and true every time. Because the base is 0.100 inches lower than EGW's lightweight design, you get a lower bore axis for tighter groups and better cheek weld without sacrificing rigidity. The full-width cross-slots accept both Picatinny and Weaver rings, so you're not locked into one ring system—swap optics or rings as your hunting and range needs evolve.
Setup is straightforward: EGW includes socket head Torx screws and the wrench you'll need to install it. The company recommends 20 inch-pounds of torque and a small drop of blue Loctite to keep everything locked tight through seasons of recoil and field use. This is a working mount for working rifles, built to the standards that matter on the range and in the field.
