EGW Ruger American Rimfire Picatinny Rail, 20 MOA

• 20 MOA built-in cant: adds forward elevation to the mounting surface, helping preserve more of a scope’s internal adjustment for dialing at longer rimfire distances.
• One-piece Picatinny layout: full-length cross slots give broad freedom to position rings and optics correctly for eye relief, balance, and accessory clearance.
• 6061 aluminum construction: keeps the rail light at 2 oz. while still providing the rigidity needed for a stable optic interface on a field or range rifle.
• Matte black anodized finish: resists wear and corrosion while matching modern rifle and optic finishes with a low-glare surface.
• Ambidextrous beveled profile: the rail is shaped with a bevel on both sides, giving a clean fit and practical handling regardless of shooting side or rifle setup.

About the EGW Picatinny Rails Series

EGW Picatinny Rails are built as practical, one-piece optic-mounting solutions for shooters who want a secure interface between rifle and scope without unnecessary bulk. In EGW’s lineup, this series covers a wide range of rifle platforms and is aimed at hunters, target shooters, and general-purpose rifle owners who need dependable ring placement and repeatable alignment. A defining feature of the family is its use of 6061-T6 aluminum, which keeps weight down while maintaining the stiffness needed for everyday use.

Within the series, EGW offers rails in black and silver finishes and in multiple cant options, including 0, 15, and 20 MOA on relevant variants. The design centers on a one-piece Picatinny platform that simplifies optic mounting and gives more flexibility than many factory bases. Another characteristic detail is the lengthwise center valley, originally intended to help accommodate backup iron sights while also trimming excess mass. Across the range, the design philosophy is straightforward: low weight, clean machining, and enough slot space to support different ring positions and optic sizes on rifles used from short-range hunting to longer-range precision work.

About the EGW Ruger American Rimfire Picatinny Rail, 20 MOA

The EGW Ruger American Rimfire Picatinny Rail, 20 MOA is designed for shooters who want to extend the practical range of a rimfire rifle while keeping the mounting system simple and robust. Its 20 MOA inclination is the key feature here: by tilting the optic slightly forward, the rail helps retain more upward turret travel for dialing at distance. On a rimfire platform, that matters when moving beyond casual short-range shooting into disciplines and setups where bullet drop becomes significant.

The rail uses a one-piece Picatinny pattern, so ring placement is not limited to a small number of fixed positions. That flexibility helps when fitting scopes with different tube lengths, turret housings, or eye-relief requirements. EGW also machines the body from domestic 6061 T6 extruded aluminum, which keeps the mount light enough not to upset the handling of a compact rimfire rifle, yet rigid enough to provide a stable base for consistent zero retention. The matte black anodized finish adds surface protection against routine wear and weather exposure.

In use, the rail’s full-length slot arrangement supports both traditional riflescope mounting and other Picatinny-compatible optic setups. The center channel reduces unnecessary mass, and the ambidextrous beveled shape gives the mount a clean, unobtrusive profile on the rifle. With compatibility that includes the Ruger American Rimfire and several other rimfire models, this rail suits shooters building a practical hunting optic setup, a training rifle, or a rimfire platform intended for more deliberate distance work.
