The EGW HD Scope Base (brand part number 80002) mounts a Picatinny or Weaver-compatible rail to a Remington 700, 722, or 40X short-action receiver, machined from 6061-T6 aircraft-grade aluminum and finished in matte black. Cut with 20 MOA, the base measures 6.276 inches overall with a 3.627-inch center spread between screw holes. EGW ships it with socket head Torx screws and the matching wrench, and recommends 20 in-lb of torque with a drip of blue Loctite for installation. A bevel on both sides makes the base genuinely ambidextrous, not handed to one side.
