For the discerning shooter who demands unwavering stability, pinpoint accuracy, and lightweight performance, the Warne Mountain Tech Tactical Rail stands as the pinnacle of scope mounting solutions. Engineered specifically for the Winchester Model 70 WSM (Winchester Short Magnum) with a short action, this 20 MOA Picatinny rail is not just an accessory; it's a critical component in achieving your most ambitious shooting goals, whether in the challenging backcountry or on the demanding long-range competition circuit.

Who Needs the Warne Mountain Tech Rail?

This precision scope mount is meticulously crafted for a specific breed of shooter:

• Backcountry Hunters: Those who trek miles through rugged terrain, where every ounce on their pack translates to significant effort, and a reliable shot often means the difference between success and disappointment. When "ounces are pounds, and pounds are pain," this lightweight rail is a game-changer.
• Long-Range Enthusiasts: Shooters pushing the limits of their rifle and ammunition, requiring enhanced elevation adjustment to consistently engage distant targets. The integrated 20 MOA cant is indispensable for this pursuit.
• Tactical Operators: Individuals who require a robust, repeatable, and versatile optics platform that can withstand extreme conditions and maintain zero under intense recoil.
• Winchester Model 70 WSM Owners: Specifically designed for the Winchester Model 70 Short Action WSM receiver, ensuring a perfect, factory-like fit and optimal alignment.
• Precision Rifle Shooters: Anyone prioritizing superior optical alignment, consistent eye relief, and maximum stability for their high-performance rifle scope.

What Problem Does the Warne Mountain Tech Rail Solve?

In the world of precision shooting, your scope mount is the crucial link between your rifle and your optic. A weak or ill-fitting mount can negate the performance of even the finest rifle and scope combination. The Warne Mountain Tech Tactical Rail addresses several critical challenges:

• Unreliable Zero Retention: Traditional scope mounting systems can be prone to shifting under heavy recoil or rough handling, leading to lost zero and frustrating misses. The Mountain Tech rail provides an unyielding foundation.
• Limited Elevation Adjustment for Long-Range: When shooting at extreme distances, a scope often runs out of internal elevation adjustment. The 20 MOA cant built into this rail effectively "pre-loads" your scope's elevation, granting you significantly more usable adjustment for extended ranges.
• Excessive Weight: For hunters and shooters who prioritize mobility, every unnecessary ounce adds up. The aerospace-grade 7075 T6 aluminum construction ensures incredible strength without the typical weight penalty, weighing in at a mere 1.80 ounces.
• Inconsistent Mounting Platforms: Switching optics or rifles often means dealing with varying mounting heights and platforms. This rail offers a consistent Picatinny/Weaver/STANAG interface, ensuring versatility across your optics collection.
• Compromised Eye Relief: Achieving proper eye relief is essential for comfortable and effective shooting. The extended length of the Mountain Tech rail, coupled with its Picatinny slot system, allows for precise adjustment of scope position to achieve optimal eye relief.
• Durability in Harsh Environments: Hunting or shooting in extreme weather conditions demands gear that can withstand moisture, temperature fluctuations, and impacts. The Mil-Spec hardcoat anodized finish provides exceptional corrosion and abrasion resistance.

Key Features That Set the Warne Mountain Tech Rail Apart

The Warne Mountain Tech Tactical Rail is not just a rail; it's a testament to Warne's commitment to precision engineering and performance.

• Integrated 20 MOA Cant: This critical feature provides 20 Minutes of Angle (MOA) of built-in elevation, allowing long-range shooters to utilize more of their scope's internal elevation adjustment for reaching distant targets. This is especially beneficial for cartridges like the WSM, which often see use in long-range applications.
• Aerospace-Grade 7075 T6 Aluminum Construction: This high-strength aluminum alloy is renowned for its exceptional strength-to-weight ratio. It offers the rigidity required to withstand significant recoil and impact, ensuring your optic remains stable and zeroed, while keeping the overall weight of your rifle system to an absolute minimum.
• Mil-Spec Hardcoat Anodized Finish: Beyond aesthetics, the black anodized finish provides a durable, non-reflective surface that resists corrosion, abrasion, and wear. This military-grade finish ensures the rail maintains its integrity and appearance even after years of hard use in diverse environments.
• Picatinny / Weaver / STANAG Compatibility: The industry-standard Picatinny design (MIL-STD-1913) ensures universal compatibility with a vast array of scope rings and accessories from various manufacturers. This gives shooters maximum flexibility in their choice of optics and mounting solutions.
• Self-Centering Hardware: The included mounting hardware is designed for ease of installation and precise alignment. The self-centering feature helps ensure the rail is perfectly centered on the receiver, minimizing stress on the mounting screws and enhancing overall stability.
• Mounts to Receiver with 6-48" Length Tapered Screws: This specific screw size and type ensures a secure and robust attachment to the Winchester Model 70 WSM receiver. The tapered design assists in snug fit and optimal torque application.
• Direct Fit for Winchester Model 70 WSM Short Action: Engineered with precise dimensions (5.23 inch outside holes spacing) to seamlessly integrate with the Winchester Model 70 WSM short action receiver, guaranteeing optimal alignment and a rock-solid foundation for your optic.
• One-Piece Construction: Machined from a single billet of aluminum, this one-piece design eliminates potential points of failure often found in multi-piece bases. This monolithic construction enhances rigidity, reduces flex, and ensures superior recoil absorption and zero retention.
• Proudly Made in the USA: Warne Scope Mounts are manufactured with precision and quality in the USA, a testament to their commitment to high standards in the firearms industry.

Why a 20 MOA Rail? The Long-Range Advantage

For those looking to extend their effective shooting range, a 20 MOA canted rail is an indispensable tool. Here's why:

1. Increased Usable Elevation: At extended distances, the bullet trajectory drops significantly. A scope's internal elevation turrets have a finite range of adjustment. A 20 MOA rail tilts the scope downwards relative to the bore, effectively "pre-setting" a portion of the necessary elevation. This frees up your scope's internal adjustment for more precise corrections at even greater distances, allowing you to utilize your optic's full potential.
2. Optical Clarity and Performance: When a scope is adjusted to its extreme ends of elevation travel, it can sometimes experience minor image distortion or reduced optical clarity. By using a 20 MOA base, you keep your scope's erector system closer to its mechanical center, where it typically performs best, leading to clearer images and more precise adjustments.
3. Simplified Ballistics Calculations: While not strictly necessary, having a consistent 20 MOA offset can simplify ballistic calculations for many long-range ballistic calculators and applications, streamlining the process of getting on target.

Installation and Compatibility: What to Expect

Installing the Warne Mountain Tech Tactical Rail on your Winchester Model 70 WSM is a straightforward process for anyone with basic gunsmithing tools and knowledge. The rail mounts directly to the receiver using the included 6-48" length tapered screws. It's crucial to ensure proper torque specifications are met during installation to maximize stability and prevent loosening under recoil.

While the rail provides the foundation, remember that scope rings are sold separately. This allows you to choose the rings that best suit your specific scope's tube diameter and desired height. Warne offers a full line of high-quality rings, including their Mountain Tech rings, which are designed to perfectly complement this rail, creating a cohesive and ultra-lightweight mounting system. For an optimized setup, consider pairing this rail with Warne's Mountain Tech rings, ensuring maximum compatibility and performance.
