EGW Guns Scope Base Features The EGW Guns Scope Base delivers a one-piece Picatinny rail for the Remington 700 722 and 40X short action receivers replacing the factory two-piece base with full-width cross slots gauged to MIL-STD 1913 specs to within plus or minus .002 inches. This gives the shooter far more flexibility when positioning rings for eye relief and scope choice than a standard two-piece setup allows. The base is drilled to match the factory scope mount holes on the receiver so installation requires no drilling or tapping of the action itself. A heavy duty profile sits .100 inches lower than EGW s lightweight mounts keeping the optic closer to the bore centerline for improved practical accuracy. Machined from 4140 carbon steel pre-hardened to Rc 35-35 before final machining this base is built to resist wear and flexing over a long service life on a hunting or precision rifle. It ships with socket head Torx screws and the wrench needed for installation and EGW recommends 20 inch-pounds of torque with a drip of blue threadlocker for a secure fit. Finished in matte black with a 0 MOA elevation profile the base suits typical hunting ranges without built-in additional elevation. Remington 700 short action owners looking for a steel no-gunsmithing Picatinny upgrade will find this EGW base a durable precise option.
