EVOLUTION Gun Works Mauser 98 Large Ring 0 MOA Picatinny Rail Scope Mount (47000)
EVOLUTION GUN WORKS MAUSER 98 LARGE RING PICATINNY RAIL SCOPE MOUNT
Picatinny cross slots run the full length of the rail, which gives the shooter flexibility when mounting scope rings and other accessories. The channel in the center reduces the overall mass of the mount, weighing in at 2-3oz on average.
Also, in many cases, it will not obstruct usage of factory iron sights. EGW’s one piece scope mounts are the obvious choice for hunters and tactical shooters alike. This mount is a Picatinny-style base and compatible with Picatinny or Weaver scope rings.
The mounts are machined in one of EGW’s USA-made Fadal machining centers. After machining, the mounts are tumbled, sand blasted, and Type II anodized for long lasting durability. The entire mount and accessories (from the mounting screws and wrench down to the packaging) are made in the USA.
When zeroing your rifle with a 20 MOA mount, we recommend zeroing at 200 yards. For installation EGW recommends 20 inch lbs of torque and a drip of blue Loctite.

Facts About Glass
Rifle scopes allow you to exactly aim a rifle at different targets by aligning your eye with the target at range. They do this through magnifying the target using a series of lenses within the scope. The scope’s positioning can be dialed in for consideration of various ecological things like wind and elevation increases or decreases to account for bullet drop.
The scope’s purpose is to help the shooter understand precisely where the bullet will hit based upon the sight picture you are seeing through the optic as you align the scope’s crosshair or reticle with the intended point of impact. A lot of modern rifle optics have around eleven parts which are located inside and outside of the scope body. These parts include the rifle scope’s body, lenses, windage dials, focus rings, and other elements. Learn about the eleven parts of glass.
About Rifle Optic Styles
Rifle scopes can be either “first focal plane” or “second focal plane” type of scopes. The style of focal plane an optic has identifies where the reticle or crosshair is located in regard to the optic’s zoom. It literally means the reticle is situated behind or in front of the magnification lens of the optic. Looking for the most reliable style of rifle optic is dependent on what type of hunting or shooting you plan on doing.
First Focal Plane Optic Details
Focal plane scopes (FFP) feature the reticle in front of the zoom lens. This causes the reticle to increase in size based upon the amount of magnification being used. The result is that the reticle measurements are the same at the enhanced distance as they are at the non amplified range. One tick on a mil-dot reticle at 100 yards with no “zoom” is still the identical tick at one hundred yards with 5x “zoom”. These types of scopes are useful for:
- Quick acquisition, far away types of shooting
- Shooting scenarios where calculations are very little
- Experienced shooters who recognize their target “hold over” and “lead” correlations for their long gun
- Shooters who do not mind the reticle is bigger and uses up more visual eyesight room than a SFP reticle
Second Focal Plane Glass
Second focal plane glass (SFP) feature the reticle behind the zoom lens. This causes the reticle to stay at the same dimensions in relation to the level of magnification being used. The end result is that the reticle measurements adjust based upon the zoom employed to shoot over longer distances because the markings present distinct increments which can vary with the magnification. In the FFP example with the SFP optic, the 5x “zoom” one hundred yard tick measurement would be 1/5th of the non “zoom” tick reticle measurement. These varieties of optics are useful for:
- Long distance types of shooting where shooters have increased time to make ballistic calculations
- Shooting where most of the shots occur within much shorter spaces and ranges
- Shooters who desire a clearer optic sight picture with less area taken up by the larger sized FFP reticle
Rifle Glass Magnification
The amount of scope zoom you need depends on the type of shooting you wish to do. Practically every style of rifle glass offers some level of magnification. The amount of zoom a scope offers is established by the diameter, thickness, and curves of the lens glass within the rifle optic. The magnifying level of the scope is the “power” of the glass. This signifies what the shooter is observing through the scope is magnified times the power aspect of what can usually be seen by human eyes.
About Fixed Single Power Lens Rifle Glass
A single power rifle scope will have a zoom number designator like 4×32. This implies the zoom power of the scope is 4x power while the objective lens is 32mm. The magnification of this kind of optic can not change considering that it is a set power scope.
Adjustable Power Lens Scope Info
Variable power rifle scopes have adjustable power. These types of scopes will note the magnification level in a configuration such as 2-10×32. These numbers suggest the zoom of the scope can be adjusted between 2x and 10x power. This always utilizes the powers in-between 2 and 10. The power manipulation is achieved by applying the power ring part of the scope near the rear of the scope by the eye bell piece.
Power and Range
Here are some recommended scope power levels and the distances where they may be effectively used. Always remember that high magnification scopes and optics will not be as efficient as lower powered scopes since too much magnification can be a detractor. The same concept goes for extended distances where the shooter needs sufficient power to see where to properly aim the rifle at the target.
About Lens Coatings
All current rifle optic lenses are covered. Lens finish can be a vital element of a rifle’s setup when looking into high end rifle optics and scope setups.
ED Versus HD Glass
Some scope makers also use “HD” or high-definition lens coverings which use various processes, chemicals, polarizations, and components to draw out various colors and viewable definition through the lens. Some scope makers use “HD” to refer to “ED” meaning extra-low dispersion glass.
Single Coating Versus Multi-Coating
Different scope lenses can also have various coatings applied to them. All lenses normally have at least some type of treatment or finishing applied to them prior to being used in a rifle scope or optic assembly. Because the lens isn’t simply a raw piece of glass, they require performance enhancing coatings. It becomes part of the finely tuned optic. It must have a finishing applied to it so that it will be efficiently usable in numerous kinds of environments, degrees of sunshine (full light VS shade), and other shooting conditions.
This lens treatment can protect the lens from scratches while decreasing glare and other less useful things experienced in the shooting environment while sighting in with the scope. The quality of a single layered lens depends on the scope manufacturer and how much you paid for it.
Some scope manufacturers likewise make it a point to specify if their optic lenses are layered or “multi” coated. This implies the lens has had multiple treatments applied to the surfaces. If a lens gets several treatments, it can indicate that a producer is taking numerous actions to combat various environmental elements like an anti-glare finish, a scratch resistant anti-abrasion finishing, followed by a hydrophilic covering. This also does not necessarily suggest the multi-coated lens is better than a single coated lens. Being “better” hinges on the maker’s lens treatment technology and the quality of materials used in constructing the rifle scope.
Hydrophobic Finishing for Rifle Scopes
Water on a scope’s lens doesn’t support maintaining a clear sight picture through an optic at all. Many top of the line or high-end optic manufacturers will coat their lenses with a hydrophilic or hydrophobic finishing. The Steiner Optics Nano-Protection is a fine example of this kind of treatment. It provides protection for the surface of the Steiner glass lens so the H2O particles can not bind to it or create surface tension. The result is that the water beads roll off of the scope to maintain a clear, water free sight picture.
Options for Mounting Glass on Long Guns
Installing approaches for scopes can be found in a couple of choices. There are the basic scope rings which are individually mounted to the optic and one-piece mounts which cradle the scope. These various kinds of mounts also usually can be found in quick release versions which use throw levers which enable rifle shooters to rapidly install and remove the optics.
Hex Key Rifle Glass Rings
Standard, clamp-on design mounting optic rings use hex head screws to fix to the flattop design Picatinny scope mount rails on the tops of rifles. These forms of scope mounts use a pair of independent rings to support the optic, and are normally made from 7075 T6 billet aluminum or similar materials which are designed for far away accuracy shooting. This kind of scope mount is very good for rifles which need to have a resilient, hard use mount which will not change regardless of how much the scope is moved about or abuse the rifle takes. These are the design of mounts you should get for a devoted optics setup on a long distance scouting or competitors firearm that will hardly ever need to be changed or recalibrated. Blue 242 Loctite threadlocker can additionally be used on the mount’s screws to stop the hex screws from backing out after they are mounted safely in position. An example of these rings are the 30mm type from the Vortex Optics brand. The set generally costs around $200 USD
Quick-Release Cantilever Rifle Glass Ring Mounting Solutions
These types of quick-release rifle scope mounts can be used to quickly take off a scope and connect it to a different rifle. Numerous scopes can even be swapped out if they all use a compatible design mount. These types of mounts are handy for rifle platforms which are transported a lot, to swap out the optic from the rifle for protecting the scope, or for scopes which are used between several rifles or are situationally focused.
Sealing and Gas Purging for Rifle Glass Tubes
Moisture inside your rifle scope can wreck a day on the range and your expensive optic by resulting in fogging and making residue within the scope tube. A lot of optics protect against humidity from getting in the optical tube with a system of sealing O-rings which are waterproof. Normally, these water-resistant optics can be submerged under 20 or 30 feet of water before the water pressure can push moisture past the O-rings. This should be ample moisture content prevention for conventional use rifles, unless you plan on taking your rifle on your motorboat and are concerned about the optic still functioning if it goes overboard and you can still retrieve the rifle.
Gas Purged Rifle Scope Tubes
Another element of preventing the buildup of wetness inside of the rifle scope tube is filling the tube with a gas like nitrogen. Considering that this space is already occupied by the gas, the scope is less altered by temperature level alterations and pressure distinctions from the outdoor environment which might possibly enable water vapor to seep in around the seals to fill the vacuum which would otherwise be there. These are good qualities of a good rifle scope to seek out.
