Weatherby Vanguard LA 20 MOA Scope Base - Black
- Finish-Color:
- Black
The Weatherby Vanguard LA 20 MOA scope base is a precision mounting solution built for shooters and hunters running modern tactical rifle setups or preparing for long-range work. This base is engineered to give you the flexibility to dial in proper eye relief while accommodating larger objective scopes—a real advantage when you're stacking high-magnification glass on a Vanguard LA platform. Aerospace aluminum construction keeps weight minimal without sacrificing strength, and the design works seamlessly with standard Picatinny and Weaver-style rings.
The 20 MOA built-in angle is purpose-built for extended-range shooting. Rather than canting your rifle or burning up elevation adjustment on the turret, this base lets your scope's windage and elevation controls work through their full travel while you're reaching for distant targets. It's the kind of detail that matters when you're setting up a rifle to perform beyond typical hunting distances.
Installation is straightforward: the base accepts #6-48 screws (included T10 Torx bit) and torques to 20 inch-pounds. If you're assembling a Vanguard LA for serious distance work or want maximum flexibility in scope mounting, this base removes guesswork from the setup equation.

Frequently Asked Questions
What rifles does this Weatherby scope base fit?
This base is designed for Weatherby Vanguard LA rifles. It uses #6-48 screws specific to Vanguard models.
Why would I want a 20 MOA scope base?
A 20 MOA base gives you additional elevation travel on your scope for long-distance shooting. Instead of maxing out your turret's elevation adjustment, the angled base lets you shoot farther while keeping your reticle centered for wind corrections and future adjustments.
Will this work with my existing scope rings?
Yes, as long as your rings are Picatinny or Weaver-compatible. The rear cutout design accommodates standard ring attachment and works with larger objective lenses.
What's included and what do I need to install it?
The base ships with a T10 Torx bit for installation. You'll need to torque the #6-48 screws to 20 inch-pounds during mounting. Have a torque wrench handy to ensure proper installation.
