Talley 25X700 Extended Front Steel Base Set, Blued – Rem 700

Description

Talley's 25X700 is a two-piece blued steel base set built for the Remington 700 and its close cousins. The front base is the extended style, which pushes your front ring forward so you can get the right eye relief with shorter scopes or magnum-length actions. The rear is a standard base, giving you that classic Talley setup that's been trusted by hunters and precision guys for decades. These bases are machined from solid bar stock steel, so they hold up to real-world abuse without flexing or wearing out.

What Makes the 25X700 Extended Front Base Different

The standout feature here is Talley's machined saddle design with double recoil shoulders. Those shoulders bite into the receiver and keep the rings from creeping under recoil, which is exactly what you want on a hard-kicking rig. It's a detail that separates a base that stays zeroed from one that slowly walks your point of impact. Made in America from high-grade steel, these are built for holding power and long-haul durability.

Fitment and Ring Compatibility for Your Rem 700

This set fits Remington 700, 721, 722, 725, and 40X actions, and it also works on the Howa 1500 footprint. One thing worth knowing up front: these bases are designed to run with Talley rings. They accept both Talley fixed rings and Talley quick-detachable rings, so you've got flexibility depending on whether you want a permanent setup or the ability to pull your optic. The set mounts with 6-48 screws, which is standard on most Remington 700 rifles.

Picking the Extended Front Over a Standard Set

The extended front base tightens up the ring spacing compared to a standard two-piece set, and the forward offset is what gives you breathing room for scope placement. If you've ever fought to get a scope far enough forward for comfortable eye relief, this is the setup that solves it. It's a clean, no-nonsense mounting foundation that lets your glass do its job.
