EGW Winchester 70 STD/LA Picatinny Rail, 20 MOA

• 20 MOA elevation built in: the rail adds forward cant so the scope keeps more internal elevation in reserve, which is useful for rifles set up for longer-range shooting.
• One-piece Picatinny layout: the full-length rail gives broad ring-placement flexibility, making it easier to position the scope correctly for eye relief and action length.
• 6061-T6 aluminum construction: the aluminum body keeps weight low while still providing the rigidity needed for a stable optic mounting platform.
• Center relief channel: the lengthwise valley trims unnecessary mass and can help preserve access to factory iron sights on rifles where sight clearance allows it.
• Included mounting hardware: supplied #6-48 screws and T-10 bit simplify installation and match the rail to the receiver pattern it was designed for.

About the EGW Picatinny Rails Series

EGW Picatinny Rails are built as practical, one-piece optic mounting solutions for shooters who want a stable base without adding unnecessary bulk. In the manufacturer’s lineup, the Standard Duty rails sit as versatile general-purpose mounts for common bolt-action platforms, giving hunting optics and tactical optics a consistent Picatinny interface. A defining feature of the series is the lengthwise center valley, a design originally intended to accommodate backup iron sights while also reducing excess material.

The series is machined from 6061-T6 aluminum, which keeps the rail light enough for field rifles while maintaining the stiffness needed for dependable ring alignment. Depending on the rifle pattern, the family is offered in 0, 15, or 20 MOA versions, allowing the shooter to choose between a neutral setup and additional elevation bias for longer distances. Black and silver finish options are also part of the range. Across the series, the focus is straightforward: a durable one-piece rail, broad compatibility with popular rifle actions, and enough slot space to position modern scopes where they balance best on the rifle.

About the EGW Winchester 70 STD/LA Picatinny Rail, 20 MOA

The EGW Winchester 70 STD/LA Picatinny Rail, 20 MOA is designed for rifles that need a solid optic base and additional elevation for longer-range work. Its 20 MOA cant angles the scope slightly downward relative to the bore, which helps preserve more of the scope’s upward adjustment range. In practice, that matters when a rifle is being stretched beyond ordinary hunting distances, because the optic retains more usable turret travel instead of reaching its limit too early.

This model uses a one-piece Picatinny profile with 17 slots, giving plenty of latitude for ring spacing and eye-relief adjustment. That is especially useful on long-action rifles, where scope placement can be more sensitive to stock geometry, bolt handle clearance, and shooting position. The rail is machined from aluminum and finished in matte black, so it keeps weight moderate while matching the subdued finish most precision and hunting rifles wear in the field.

The center channel reduces mass and contributes to a cleaner overall profile, while the ambidextrous beveled form keeps the rail practical for different rifle setups. At 179.00 mm in length, this rail provides a generous mounting surface without the complexity of separate front and rear bases. Compatibility with the Winchester M70 LA, Marlin XL-7, and related receiver patterns makes it a focused solution for shooters who want a straightforward Picatinny upgrade with the added benefit of built-in elevation.

About EGW

Its catalog covers 1911 parts, AR and rifle components, red dot mounts, thread protectors, scope mounts, and scope rings. That broad product range is relevant here because EGW’s experience is centered on the interface between firearm and optic: the small but critical parts that determine alignment, repeatability, and durability. In the mounting category, the brand has built a strong reputation for straightforward designs that solve common fitment needs without unnecessary complexity.
