I have several older 110 long action, flat back, round front recieves, looking for a long one piece picatinny scope rail, where is the best place to buy 2-3? All help appreciated.

Midway and SWFA both sell the EGW. SWFA has the Weaver base which has a recoil lug and runs $10 cheaper.
Midway has those too. I've been very tempted to buy one. The look lower like the EGW HD's.Originally Posted by helotaxi

I just ordered two of the Weavers from opticsplanet. They are the cheapest and have free shipping.
The Weaver might be a little bit lower. I didn't mic it before I installed it to compare to the EGW that it replaced. The replacement was to go to a 20MOA base not because there was anything wrong with the EGW.
Murphy Precision is a awesome base... http://murphyprecision.com/
IMO its better then KF...... CS is better too....JMO
Very nice but definitely not cheap!

Looks like they only make bases for round tops, no round flats. Bummer!
I'm pretty sure the Weaver is only made for the round rear receivers too. I don't see any listed on their site for the flat backs. I ran into that problem with the EGW HD's, they're only made for the round rears as far as I can find.
What rings and scope are you planning to use? I have a long action with the square back and the EGW base is the only one that I found that would fit it in a 1-piece 1913/Weaver style rail. The problem with the EGW is that it is pretty tall. When coupled with my favorite rings (Burris Signature Zee; medium is the lowest height that they come in) the scope sits up higher than I like. I may end up going back to the Leupold style bases with the Signature rings on that rifle to get the scope lower again, even though I'm not really a fan of that style base.
Bought the EWG 20MOA base. It was too high for my use. Now it is sitting in the desk drawer taking up space. I went with the Talley Ring mounts. For a one piece design, they are actually pretty good.
Murphy does custom work as well, and its done right...He's definitely a straight shooter and gives you what you paid for, no BS... So don't waste your money on aluminium bases, go straight to steel.... only way to go...
I bought it direct from EGW.

P.S. I used Burris XTR's (Low).
