MDT Picatinny Scope Base, Tikka T1X, 20 MOA

• 20 MOA Incline: adds forward cant to the rail so a riflescope keeps more internal elevation in reserve, which is especially useful for rimfire setups stretched to longer distances.
• Receiver-Specific Fit: the base is made for the Tikka T1x, helping the rail sit correctly on the action for stable scope alignment and straightforward installation.
• 6061 Aluminum Construction: keeps weight down while providing the rigidity needed for a dependable optic mounting platform on a field or range rifle.
• Picatinny Interface: gives broad compatibility with Picatinny scope rings, making it easier to match ring height and optic choice to the rifle’s intended use.
• Hard-Anodized Finish: the black anodized surface helps resist wear and handling marks, so the base remains durable through repeated optic changes and regular use.

About the MDT Picatinny Bases Series

MDT Picatinny Bases are the company’s general-purpose scope mounting rails for bolt-action rifles, built to provide a solid interface between the receiver and modern optics. The series is offered across a wide range of rifle actions and is available in 20, 30, 40, and 50 MOA versions, allowing shooters to choose the amount of built-in elevation that suits their cartridge, optic and intended distance. Within MDT’s lineup, these bases sit as practical mounting components for hunting rifles, competition builds and general shooting setups.

The series is defined by a CNC-machined 6061-T6 aluminum body, a receiver-matched underside profile and rail geometry made to MIL-STD-1913 and STANAG 4694 dimensions. That combination matters in practice because it supports consistent ring fit, secure mounting and proper alignment on compatible actions. MDT also shapes the underside to sit flush on the receiver and follow the ejection-port geometry, while selected models incorporate an integrated recoil lug where the action design allows it. In use, the series is aimed at shooters who want a lighter alternative to steel without giving up the precision and repeatability expected from a dedicated scope base.

About the MDT Picatinny Scope Base, Tikka T1X, 20 MOA

The MDT Picatinny Scope Base, Tikka T1X, 20 MOA is a fixed mounting rail designed for shooters who want to equip the Tikka T1x with a Picatinny-based optic setup while gaining useful elevation bias for longer-range work. On a rimfire rifle, a 20 MOA base is particularly helpful because it lets the scope operate closer to the center of its adjustment range at extended distances, preserving more upward travel for dialing rather than using up that adjustment just to reach zero farther out.

This model uses an aluminum body with a black hard-anodized finish, giving the rail a good balance of low weight, corrosion resistance and everyday durability. Its 163.00 mm length provides ample mounting space for ring placement, which is useful when setting eye relief on compact rimfire actions or when fitting scopes with different tube lengths. Because it uses the Picatinny standard, the base works with a broad selection of rings and optic mounts, making it suitable for everything from lightweight hunting optics to target-oriented rimfire scopes with larger adjustment ranges.

For practical use, the value of this rail is not only in the added cant but also in the action-specific fit. A base shaped for the T1x helps the optic sit correctly on the receiver, supports repeatable alignment and gives the rifle a more secure foundation for precision shooting, training and small-caliber long-range applications.

About MDT

MDT Sporting Goods was established in 2009 and began in Chilliwack, British Columbia, Canada. The company first identified the TAC21 as its original chassis design and has since expanded into a broader precision-rifle equipment maker. MDT designs, manufactures and sells rifle chassis systems, magazines, buttstocks and accessories for target shooting and hunting, with a product range that also includes bipods, scope bases and scope rings.

In this category, MDT is known for building practical rifle-interface components shaped by input from competitive precision shooters. Its scope bases are described as CNC-machined from 6061-T6 aluminum and made to MIL-STD-1913 and STANAG 4694 specifications, which reflects the company’s focus on repeatable fit and compatibility across modern optics setups. That background makes MDT a natural fit for shooters assembling precision rimfire or centerfire rifles around a stable, modular mounting system.
