EGW One Piece Scope mount

[alcante262]

Anyone have anything good or bad to say about the EGW one piece scope mount for the Remy 700 with 20 Moa elevation.Looking to get one for my Rem 700 308.I realize its not a Badger or Nightforce just wanting to know if they are good or not.Thanks

They're fine. I have one on a Savage and it holds zero and is durable.

EGW is good to go. I ran the same mount on my 308 savage for a few years. No issues.

I installed one on the Savage I use for 1,000 yard matches and it does the job.

Me, too... My Savage came with an EGW mount (AFAIK), and it seems to work fine.

If it's in-spec, it's in-spec... if not, well, then it's not.

Do the EGW bases have an intergral recoil lug or no? I recommend: Seekins, Murphy Precison, Near Manufacturing, Ken Farrell, NF, Badger, USO, etc.

I have no first hand experience with EGW... but I've read too many comments about out-of-spec EGW Rails for me to ever feel comfortable with giving them a go.

Glad to see the guys in this thread have had success with them.

Huh? It's a section of rail that bolts to the top of the receiver... Where would there be a recoil lug?

Out of spec, how?

At the risk of sounding like a bottom-feeder, machining a rail and making it fit isn't rocket surgery...


Anyway, my only complaint about the rail that came attached to my Savage is that somebody at Savage boogered up the hex heads pretty badly.

It takes the Load off of the Screws, that way you're not relying on their shear strength during recoil.

EGW makes no mention of if they have Integral Recoil Lugs or not... they also don't mention if their Screws that are included are Grade 8 or not.

How good is their QC? How about their Metallurgy?

I never buy budget Hardware, especially when it comes to things that require precision. That's one potential variable u can easily lessen or eliminate altogether.

The recoil lug seems like a good idea... I'll have to take a look at mine.

Again, I hate sounding like a bottom feeder, but I really don't think the grade of the hardware or the metalurgy matters all that much... If it fits, and it's straight, and it doesn't break, then it really is good enough for me.
