EGW Picatinny Rail Scope Mount for Winchester 70 WSSM 0 MOA | 6061-T6 Aluminum

Overview

Designed for reliability in the field, the EGW Picatinny Rail Scope Mount for Winchester 70 WSSM delivers a solid, repeatable foundation for precision optics. It’s machined from domestic 6061-T6 extruded aluminum and finished in a durable matte black, offering a sturdy platform that stays true under varying conditions. The included hex head screws and wrench simplify installation, helping you get to the task at hand without fuss.

Dimensions, MOA Options, and Fit

Key measurements center around the middle hole spacing on your receiver. For Winchester 70 variants, the middle spread distances are as follows: short action 3.259 inches, long action 3.805 inches, WSM 3.514 inches, and WSSM 3.225 inches. The mount is available in either 0 MOA or 20 MOA to accommodate a range of optics and elevation needs. If you’re unsure which MOA to choose, the FAQ section provides guidance to help you align hardware with your setup.

Build, Compatibility, and Use Cases

The rails feature full-length Picatinny cross slots, granting maximum flexibility for mounting scope rings and accessories. A centered channel reduces overall mass, with typical weight around 2–3 ounces, which can help maintain balance on lighter rifles. In many cases, the mount will not obstruct factory iron sights, making it a versatile option for field use and transitional setups.

• One-piece scope mount designed for hunters and tactical shooters alike.
• Compatible with Picatinny or Weaver rings for easy pairing with existing optics.
• Finish: matte black; custom silver anodizing is available on request (additional charge and lead time).

Finish, Customization, and Installation Tips

In addition to the standard matte black finish, custom silver anodizing can be arranged for those seeking a unique look. Allow three months and a $15 customization fee for silver anodizing. For installation, EGW recommends 20 inch-pounds of torque and a drop of blue thread locker (sold separately) to help secure the mounting hardware.
