MDT Picatinny Scope Base, Sauer 100/101 - Mauser M18, 20 MOA

• 20 MOA Inclination: The built-in forward cant preserves more of a scope’s internal elevation travel, which is especially useful when setting up a hunting or precision rifle for longer distances.
• 6061-T6 Aluminum Construction: A lightweight aluminum body keeps unnecessary weight off the rifle while still providing the rigidity needed for a stable optic mounting platform.
• Receiver-Matched Underside Profile: The underside is shaped to sit flush on the action and follow the ejection-port geometry, helping the base fit cleanly and mount securely.
• MIL-STD-1913 and STANAG 4694 Interface: The rail geometry supports broad compatibility with Picatinny-style rings and accessories, making optic selection and future changes simpler.
• Hard-Anodized Black Finish: The anodized surface adds wear resistance against repeated mounting, ring clamping, and field handling while maintaining a low-profile appearance.

About the MDT Picatinny Bases Series

MDT Picatinny Bases are designed as practical optic-mounting solutions for bolt-action rifles used in hunting, competition, and general field shooting. Within MDT’s mounting lineup, this series covers a wide range of rifle actions and receiver lengths, giving shooters a consistent rail interface across different platforms. The family is offered in 20, 30, 40, and 50 MOA variants, allowing the base to be matched to the rifle’s intended distance envelope and the amount of scope elevation needed.

Across the series, the design centers on a CNC-machined 6061-T6 aluminum body with a hard-anodized finish, combining low weight with the strength needed for a dependable optic platform. The rails follow MIL-STD-1913 and STANAG 4694 dimensions, so they work with common Picatinny-compatible rings. MDT also shapes the underside to sit flush on the receiver and align with the ejection-port geometry, which helps produce a cleaner fit and more secure installation. On actions that allow it, an integrated recoil lug is included to improve resistance to movement under recoil.

About the MDT Picatinny Scope Base, Sauer 100/101 - Mauser M18, 20 MOA

The MDT Picatinny Scope Base, Sauer 100/101 - Mauser M18, 20 MOA is built for shooters who want a solid, low-profile optic interface on compatible long-action style hunting and precision rifles. Its main advantage is the 20 MOA incline, which angles the scope slightly downward relative to the bore so more upward adjustment remains available inside the optic. In practice, that gives a rifle and scope combination more flexibility when stretching to longer distances without forcing the scope to operate near the end of its adjustment range.

This base is made from aluminium and finished in black hard anodizing, keeping the mount light while adding surface durability for repeated ring installation and normal field use. The rail follows established Picatinny dimensions, so it accepts a wide range of scope rings for hunting optics or tactical optics. Just as important, the underside profile is shaped to sit flush on the receiver and follow the action geometry, which helps the base mount neatly and maintain alignment. On compatible action designs within the series, MDT also uses an integrated recoil-lug concept to help the rail resist shifting under recoil.

For rifles such as the Sauer 100, Sauer 101, and Mauser M18, this model provides a straightforward way to add a Picatinny rail interface while gaining the elevation benefit of a canted base. That makes it well suited to rifles expected to move between general hunting use and more deliberate longer-range shooting.

About MDT

MDT Sporting Goods was established in 2009 and began in Chilliwack, British Columbia, Canada. The company focuses on rifle accessories for target shooting and hunting, with a product range that includes chassis systems, magazines, buttstocks, bipods, scope bases, and scope rings. MDT identifies the TAC21 as its first chassis, and the brand has since become closely associated with modular rifle platforms and precision-oriented support equipment.

MDT develops its chassis, magazines, and accessories with input from competitive precision shooters, which shows in the practical, interface-driven design of its mounting products. In the scope-mounting category, MDT states that its bases are CNC-machined from 6061-T6 aluminum and built to MIL-STD-1913 and STANAG 4694 specifications, reflecting the company’s emphasis on compatibility, repeatable fit, and straightforward integration with modern optics.
