MDT Picatinny Scope Base, Tikka T1X, 50 MOA

• 50 MOA Inclination: adds substantial built-in cant, helping preserve more of a scope’s internal elevation travel for rimfire and long-range setups where dialing farther matters.
• Receiver-Matched Profile: the underside is shaped to sit flush on the action and follow the ejection-port geometry, which supports a clean fit and consistent optic alignment.
• 6061-T6 Aluminum Construction: keeps the base light while providing the rigidity needed for a stable mounting platform that stands up to regular field and range use.
• MIL-STD-1913 and STANAG 4694 Interface: gives broad compatibility with Picatinny-mounted rings and optics, making it easier to build a repeatable and secure setup.
• Hard-Anodized Black Finish: improves surface durability and corrosion resistance, helping the rail maintain its fit and appearance through repeated installation and outdoor use.

About the MDT Picatinny Bases Series

MDT Picatinny Bases sit in the company’s scope-mounting range as dedicated rails for bolt-action rifles, built for shooters who want a solid optic interface with the option of added elevation cant. The series is offered in 20, 30, 40, and 50 MOA variants, so it covers everything from general shooting and hunting optics to more specialized long-range and rimfire applications where extra adjustment can be valuable. Across the range, the rails follow MIL-STD-1913 and STANAG 4694 dimensions, giving them broad compatibility with Picatinny rings and mounts.

The design philosophy is practical rather than bulky. These bases are CNC-machined from 6061-T6 aluminum and finished with Mil-Spec Type II hard anodizing, balancing low weight with the stiffness needed for a dependable mounting surface. MDT also shapes the underside to sit flush on the receiver and to match the ejection-port geometry, which helps the rail integrate neatly with the action. On models where the action design allows it, an integrated recoil lug is used to improve resistance to movement under recoil. The result is a series aimed at shooters who want a clean fit, repeatable mounting, and the right amount of built-in incline for their rifle and optic combination.

About the MDT Picatinny Scope Base, Tikka T1X, 50 MOA

The MDT Picatinny Scope Base, Tikka T1X, 50 MOA is a dedicated rail for shooters building a Tikka T1x around extended-range rimfire shooting or any setup where a scope’s available elevation travel is a limiting factor. Its defining feature is the 50 MOA incline, which tilts the optic forward to free up more usable upward adjustment. In practice, that matters most on rifles that are expected to stretch well beyond ordinary zero distances, where preserving turret travel can make the difference between dialing a solution and running out of adjustment.

This model also benefits from the same receiver-conscious design used across the series. The underside is contoured to sit flush on the Tikka T1x action and to follow the ejection-port geometry, giving the base a more integrated fit than a generic rail. The Picatinny interface supports a wide range of rings and optic mounts, so it works equally well for precision rimfire scopes and other compatible sighting systems. Because the base is machined from aluminium and finished in black, it adds mounting capability without unnecessary bulk and keeps the rifle’s handling balanced. For a T1x set up for target work, training, or long-range rimfire use, this rail is primarily about creating the elevation headroom needed to get more from the optic already on the rifle.

About MDT

MDT Sporting Goods was established in 2009 and began in Chilliwack, British Columbia, Canada. The company focuses on rifle chassis systems and related shooting accessories, with a product range that includes chassis, stocks, magazines, bipods, scope bases, and scope rings. MDT identifies the TAC21 as its first chassis, and its later product development has continued to center on practical improvements for precision rifle setups.

MDT designs, manufactures, and sells equipment for target shooting and hunting, with chassis, magazines, and accessories developed with input from competitive precision shooters. In the mounting category, MDT states that its scope bases are CNC-machined from 6061-T6 aluminum and made to MIL-STD-1913 and STANAG 4694 specifications. That background is directly relevant here, because it shows the company’s emphasis on fit, repeatability, and compatibility in the parts that connect optics to the rifle.
