The MDT 102357BLK 20 MOA Picatinny scope base transforms standard Howa 1500 long action rifles into precision shooting platforms. This engineered aluminum base provides the critical elevation advantage needed for extended range shooting without maxing out scope adjustments.
What Makes This Different
Unlike zero MOA bases that limit long-range capability, this 20 MOA cant provides additional elevation adjustment for shots beyond 600 yards. The precision-machined aluminum construction maintains zero under heavy recoil while the black anodized finish resists corrosion and wear. Standard Picatinny spacing ensures compatibility with virtually any scope ring system.
Key Features
- 20 MOA built-in cant maximizes scope elevation range for long-distance shooting
- CNC-machined from 6061-T6 aluminum for dimensional accuracy and strength
- 11-inch length provides optimal scope positioning and ring spacing options
- MIL-STD 1913 Picatinny rail specification ensures universal scope ring compatibility
- Black Type III hard anodized finish resists scratches and environmental damage
- Direct bolt-on replacement for factory Howa 1500 long action bases
- Precision-drilled and tapped mounting holes eliminate gunsmithing requirements
Field performance centers on the base's ability to extend effective shooting range without scope limitation issues. Competition shooters benefit from the additional elevation clicks available for targets at varying distances, while hunters gain the capability to take ethical shots at extended ranges. The rigid aluminum construction maintains consistent point of impact through temperature changes and repeated mounting cycles.
