The EGW Remington 700 Short Action (Also 722, 40X) Picatinny Scope Base (brand part number 40002) mounts a Picatinny-pattern rail directly to a Remington 700 Short Action (Also 722, 40X) receiver, built to a 20 MOA incline. Evolution Gun Works machines the base from 6061-T6 extruded aluminum and finishes it in matte black for a durable, corrosion-resistant mount, running 7.064 inches overall with a 4.485-inch center spread between the two middle mounting holes. The base ships with hex-head screws and a wrench for installation, and EGW recommends 20 inch-lbs of torque with a drip of blue Loctite on the screws. Note this base will not fit Howa 1500 or Weatherby Vanguard. It’s made in the USA to EGW’s standard tolerances.
