Mdt Howa Mini Action 20 Moa Scope Base
The MDT Howa Mini Action 20 MOA scope base gives you a precision mounting platform built for shooters who want flexibility and reliability. This Picatinny rail system is engineered specifically for Howa mini actions, delivering a rock-solid foundation that accepts both Picatinny and Weaver-style rings—so you're not locked into one ring choice or limited by eye relief constraints. Whether you're setting up a hunting rifle, a precision bolt gun, or a target shooter, this base lets you dial in the scope position that works best for your setup and shooting style.
The 20 MOA built-in incline is a game-changer for long-range work. That extra elevation lets your scope's elevation turret stay within its optimal adjustment range even when you're reaching out to distance, giving you more room to dial and better accuracy potential at extended yardage. The rail is profiled and contoured on the underside to sit flush against the receiver and clear the ejection port, so you get a clean fit without binding or snagging. An integrated recoil lug on the base means the whole system locks down tight and stays there—no creep, no stress on the mounting screws.
Built from 6061 T6 aluminum and finished in mil-spec Type III hard anodized, this base handles the rigors of field use and repeated recoil. The slots are cut to MIL-STD-1913 spec, ensuring true, repeatable fits every time. Mounting hardware is included, so you're ready to install and get behind the gun.
