The EGW heavy duty scope base (brand part number 80000) is machined from 6061-T6 aircraft-grade aluminum for the Remington 700, 722, and 40X short action rifles, delivering a rugged 0 MOA Picatinny or Weaver-compatible rail. It measures 6.276 inches overall with a 3.627-inch center spread between the middle mounting holes, and it comes standard with a bevel on both sides, making the base ambidextrous. EGW ships the base with socket-head Torx screws and the wrench needed to install them, and recommends torquing to 20 inch-pounds with a drop of blue Loctite for a secure mount. It’s a heavy duty upgrade for shooters running larger optics or harder-recoiling loads on a Remington 700 short action.
