    EGW bases


    I bought a Stevens 200 in 270 LA. Went to put a scope on it with weaver 2 pc. mounts and couldn't get them close enough together. Ordered a one pc. EGW41102 and it works. I was just wouldering what the 20 MOA means on the package. Thanks James

    it means you have 20 minutes of down angle built into the base which will give you an added 20 minutes (inches) of adjustment for longer ranges.

    It also means your scope may not have enough adj to zero at 100 yards before it bottoms out.
