The EGW Winchester 1300 scope base transforms your shotgun into a modern platform without permanent modifications. This one-piece Picatinny rail mounts directly to your Winchester 1300's factory receiver holes—no drilling, tapping, or gunsmithing required. If you're running a rifled barrel or slug gun and want the flexibility to dial in optics quickly, this aluminum base gives you a rock-solid foundation for fast eye relief adjustments and easy scope swaps in the field.
Built from 6061 T6 extruded aluminum and precisely machined to MIL-STD 1913 specs, the EGW base is both lightweight and rigid. The full-width cross-slots are gauged to ±.002" tolerance, ensuring your Picatinny or Weaver rings sit true and stay put. Whether you're hunting waterfowl with a cantilever-mounted red dot or running a low-power scope for close-range accuracy work, this mount delivers the versatility serious shotgunners expect.
Installation is straightforward: the base comes with socket head Torx screws and wrench. EGW specs 20 inch-lbs of torque and a small drop of blue Loctite to lock everything down. The milled center channel keeps weight minimal without sacrificing the rigidity you need for reliable, repeatable zero.
