The EGW Scope Base Marlin 917/982 – XT-22 Picatinny Rail is a precision-engineered mounting solution designed for rimfire precision shooters and tactical trainers who demand repeatable accuracy on compact platforms. This scope base fills a critical gap for Marlin 917 and 982 rifle owners seeking to upgrade from factory dovetail mounting systems to modern optic rails. Whether you're running a red dot, low-power variable, or magnified scope for competitive shooting or field work, this picatinny-compatible base delivers the foundation necessary for consistent zero maintenance and quick optic changes.
Manufactured by Evolution Gun Works, a brand with proven credentials in precision firearm accessories, the Marlin 917/982 scope base leverages CNC-machined construction to ensure tight tolerances and repeatable mounting geometry. The picatinny rail profile is MIL-STD-1913 compliant, guaranteeing compatibility with any standard tactical rail adapter or optic mount you select. At just 0.2 lbs, the base adds negligible weight to your platform while maintaining rigidity critical for maintaining point-of-impact through sustained fire sequences or field transitions. The compact 3.3-inch length sits flush with the action, minimizing profile and keeping your sight picture unobstructed by excess hardware.
This scope base is purpose-built for Marlin 917 and 982 rifles, including the XT-22 variant, and requires no permanent modifications to your receiver. Installation is straightforward for anyone with basic gunsmithing knowledge, typically involving removal of the factory sight and drilling/tapping for base mounting screws. Law enforcement and military precision teams commonly upgrade rimfire training platforms with picatinny systems to standardize optic mounts across entire arsenals, and this base enables that same professional-grade flexibility for sport shooters and tactical professionals. Verify mounting hole alignment with your specific model before purchase to ensure a perfect fit.
