The EGW Remington 783 Short Action Picatinny Scope Base, 0 MOA (EGW part no. 40910) gives the budget-friendly 783 a continuous mounting platform in place of the factory two-piece bases. EGW machines it from domestic 6061-T6 aircraft aluminum and finishes it in matte black anodize. Full-length cross slots let you place the rings for scopes of different tube lengths on the short action receiver. It is a straightforward upgrade for hunting and general target shooting.

Key Specifications

• The mount is made for the Remington 783 Short Action (.243, .308, 6.5 Creedmoor and similar calibers), so it matches that receiver instead of a generic pattern.
• Built-in elevation is 0 MOA, which sets how the optic sits relative to the bore.
• It is machined from domestic 6061-T6 aircraft aluminum, which keeps the mount strong without adding bulk.
• The finish is matte black anodize, a coating that protects the aluminum from scratches and wear.
• EGW says the mount does not fit the Remington 783 Long Action or the Remington 700.
• Center spread is 3.242 inches, the distance between the two middle mounting holes.
• Overall length is 6.67 inches, which sets how much rail is available for ring placement.
• Height is 0.4 inch from the top of the receiver to the top of the Picatinny rail.
• Included mounting hardware is #6-48 x 1/4 screws and a T-10 bit, so installation needs nothing extra.
• EGW specifies 20 inch-pounds of torque on the mounting screws, with a drip of blue Loctite.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this fit the 783 Long Action? No. EGW lists this rail for the 783 Short Action only. The Long Action, used for calibers such as .30-06 and 7mm Magnum, has holes spaced farther apart and needs EGW’s 783 Long Action rail.

Can I use it on a Remington 700? No. EGW says the 783 uses different hole spacing and receiver contour than the Model 700.

Why choose a 0 MOA base? EGW recommends 0 MOA for most hunting and general target shooting out to about 600 yards, because it keeps the scope optically centered.
