This Evolution Gun Works scope base gives the Henry Homesteader a flat, full-length Picatinny rail for mounting red dots, low-power variable optics, or traditional scopes. Built with a 0 MOA cant, it sits level with no built-in angle, which suits the short- to mid-range shooting most Homesteader owners do with this pistol-caliber carbine. The base measures 6.670 inches long with a 2.75-inch center spread, giving you room to position rings or an optic where your eye relief lands. Shooters setting up a Henry Homesteader scope or red dot for home defense, plinking, or close-quarters work will find this a clean, no-fuss foundation.
The base is CNC-machined in the USA from 6061-T6 aircraft-grade aluminum and wears a matte black Type III hardcoat anodized finish for corrosion and wear resistance. A sight channel runs down the center to cut mass without sacrificing rigidity, and the profile sits low — roughly 0.220 inches above the receiver for red dot setups — which keeps optics close to the bore. The rail meets MIL-STD-1913 spacing, so it accepts Picatinny or Weaver-style rings. EGW includes #8-40 X 1/4 screws and a T-10 bit in the box; torque the screws to 20 inch-pounds for a secure hold. The mount is ambidextrous and fits both Henry Homesteader and Henry Supreme receivers. Total weight is just 2 ounces.
If you run a Henry Homesteader as a defensive carbine or range gun, this base lets you bolt on the optic you already trust without machining or drilling. The 0 MOA cant is the right call for the Homesteader's effective range, where a flat-mounted optic holds zero across the distances you'll actually shoot. Pair it with a set of 1-inch aluminum rings or 30mm rings to match your optic, and browse our full scope mounts and rings selection for other lever-action and Henry-specific bases.
Yes. This base is cut specifically for the Henry Homesteader receiver and also fits the Henry Supreme. It uses the receiver's existing screw holes with the included #8-40 X 1/4 screws, so no drilling or tapping is required to install it.
The rail follows MIL-STD-1913 Picatinny spacing, so it accepts red dots, low-power variable optics, and traditional scopes. Use Picatinny or Weaver-style rings sized to your optic's tube. The low 0.220-inch profile above the receiver keeps red dots close to the bore.
The 0 MOA cant mounts the optic flat with no built-in angle, which fits the Henry Homesteader's pistol-caliber range. A 20 MOA base tilts the optic forward to extend long-range elevation travel, which the Homesteader's effective distances do not require.
EGW specifies 20 inch-pounds on the #8-40 screws. The kit includes a T-10 bit. Apply a thread-locking compound and torque evenly to that value to keep the base from shifting under recoil and to protect the receiver threads.
It is CNC-machined in the USA from 6061-T6 aircraft-grade aluminum and finished with matte black Type III hardcoat anodizing for corrosion and wear resistance. At 2 ounces, it adds almost no weight to the rifle while providing a rigid mounting platform.
