The EGW Scope Base for Thompson/Center Encore combines rugged 6061-T6 extruded aluminum with a matte black finish to deliver a durable, weight-conscious mounting solution that is perfectly suited for precision rifle setups and all?weather field use, engineered in a Picatinny style that accepts Mil-STD 1913 rings. This 20 MOA base raises the optics elevation capability while keeping the center spread at 0.838 inches and the overall length at 5.488 inches, optimizing alignment for long-range engagement and consistent tracking across a wide range of elevations. Each base ships with hex head mounting screws and a wrench, and EGW recommends a torque of 20 inch-pounds with a dab of blue Loctite to ensure a secure, gap-free fit under recoil and temperature variations encountered in field conditions. The combination of a black matte finish and the center?to?center hole geometry provides a clean, low-profile appearance that preserves the rifles lines while delivering dependable rigidity and repeatable return to zero. With no required rings included, this base is ready to pair with your preferred high-quality Picatinny rings to create a stable platform for precision shooting, hunting, or tactical applications where reliability and accuracy are paramount.
