If you’re searching for a Howa 1500 long action Picatinny rail, a 20 MOA scope base for Howa 1500, or an MDT 20 MOA Pic rail, this is a purpose-built upgrade designed to help you mount your optic with confidence and maximize your scope’s adjustment potential.
Why a 20 MOA Scope Base Matters
A 20 MOA (minutes of angle) canted rail is one of the most popular upgrades for shooters who plan to dial elevation for longer distances. Instead of starting your scope’s internal elevation near the middle of its travel, a 20 MOA base angles the optic slightly downward relative to the barrel—effectively giving you more usable elevation adjustment for dialing farther.
Benefits of a 20 MOA Picatinny Base
More elevation travel for long-range dialing (especially helpful at extended distances)
Better use of your scope’s adjustment range
A smart foundation for modern precision builds
Long-range readiness without changing your rifle’s core setup
Whether you’re shooting steel, working on data and dope, or building a capable long-action hunting rifle for open country, a 20 MOA base is a simple upgrade that can make a noticeable difference in optic setup flexibility.
Picatinny Compatibility: Easy Mounting, Broad Ring Options
This is a Picatinny scope base, which means it’s designed around the widely used Picatinny standard for scope mounting. That gives you excellent compatibility with a broad selection of:
Picatinny scope rings
One-piece mounts (where applicable)
Night vision / accessory mounts (platform-dependent)
Precision optics setups that benefit from standardized spacing
For most shooters, Picatinny is the preferred option because it’s flexible, widely supported, and easy to configure.
Built for Howa 1500 Long Action
Fitment matters—especially with scope bases, where alignment and screw spacing are critical. This rail is designed to fit the Howa 1500 Long Action, making it an ideal choice for shooters who want a clean, correct mounting solution without guesswork or “close enough” fitment.
If you’ve been searching for an MDT rail for Howa 1500 LA, this model is made for that specific action length and mounting footprint.
11" Long Rail: More Ring Placement Flexibility
At 11 inches long, this scope base provides extra room to position your rings for optimal eye relief and scope placement. That can be especially useful when you’re running:
More rail length can make it easier to dial in a comfortable, repeatable head position—especially when setting up a rifle for prone shooting or long-range practice.
