EGW T/C Contender Picatinny Rail, 20 MOA

• 20 MOA built-in elevation: The rail adds forward cant to preserve more of a scope’s internal adjustment for dialing at distance, making it a practical choice for long-range and precision shooting setups.
• One-piece Picatinny platform: Full-length cross slots give broad freedom in ring placement, helping fit different scope lengths and eye-relief requirements on Thompson/Center single-shot platforms.
• 6061-T6 aluminum construction: The aluminum body keeps weight low while maintaining the rigidity needed for a stable optic mounting surface in the field or on the range.
• Ambidextrous beveled design: The rail is beveled on both sides, giving a clean fit and making the platform equally practical regardless of shooting orientation or rifle setup.
• Made in the USA with included hardware: Supplied screws and T-10 bit simplify installation, while domestic manufacture and anodized finish support long-term durability and corrosion resistance.

About the EGW Picatinny Rails Series

EGW Picatinny Rails are built as practical, one-piece mounting solutions for shooters who want a secure optic interface without unnecessary bulk. Within the company’s lineup, this series focuses on straightforward scope mounting for hunting optics, target rifles, and general-purpose firearm setups, with an emphasis on fit-specific rails for a wide range of actions and receivers. A defining feature of the family is its use of 6061-T6 aluminum, which keeps weight under control while still providing the stiffness needed for dependable ring alignment and repeatable optic positioning.

Across the series, the rails are designed around the Picatinny standard, giving broad compatibility with Picatinny and many Weaver-style rings. EGW also uses a center relief channel along the length of the rail, reducing mass and, on many firearms, helping preserve clearance for factory iron sights. Depending on the application, rails in the series are offered with 0, 15, or 20 MOA elevation, allowing the shooter to choose between a neutral mounting plane or added cant for extended-range dialing. The result is a rail family aimed at users who value solid machining, simple installation, and model-specific fit.

About the EGW T/C Contender Picatinny Rail, 20 MOA

The EGW T/C Contender Picatinny Rail, 20 MOA is a dedicated optic base for Thompson/Center single-shot platforms that need a stable, versatile mounting surface. Its main advantage is the 20 MOA incline, which angles the scope slightly downward relative to the bore so more internal elevation remains available for longer shots. In practice, that matters when a rifle or handgun setup is being stretched beyond ordinary zero distances and the optic needs more dialing range without running out of adjustment.

The rail uses a one-piece Picatinny layout with cross slots running the full length, making it easier to position rings for proper eye relief and to accommodate different scope tube lengths. That flexibility is especially useful on specialized hunting or target configurations where optic placement can make a noticeable difference in shooting comfort. The body is machined from domestic 6061-T6 extruded aluminum, so it adds useful rigidity without excessive weight, and the matte black anodized finish helps resist wear and corrosion in regular field use.

EGW also gives this model an ambidextrous beveled profile and a center channel that reduces mass while maintaining a clean, practical shape. At 139.00 mm in length, it provides ample mounting space without overcomplicating the firearm. Because it fits the T/C Contender pattern, it suits shooters building a compact hunting setup, a scoped single-shot pistol, or a long-range-oriented specialty rig that benefits from a properly canted Picatinny base.

About EGW

Evolution Gun Works was founded by George Smith in 1991 and is based in Quakertown, Pennsylvania, United States. The company began as a gunsmithing shop in Doylestown, Pennsylvania, and developed into a manufacturer focused on firearm parts and accessories. EGW is particularly well known for scope mounts and scope rings, but its catalog also includes 1911 parts, AR components, red dot mounts, thread protectors, and other rifle accessories.

That background is relevant here because EGW’s reputation is built on machining practical mounting solutions for real firearm platforms rather than producing generic accessories. Its product range reflects a strong emphasis on fit-specific parts, straightforward installation, and durable materials, which is why the brand is widely recognized among shooters looking for rails, bases, and mounting hardware made in the USA.
