This EGW rail is one of the most trusted ways to get a modern optic sitting right on your short action Remington. It's a one-piece Picatinny base cut with 15 MOA of built-in forward cant, which is the sweet spot for shooters who want extra elevation for stretching distances without losing their scope's internal travel. The bolt pattern fits short action Remington 700 rifles in calibers like .223 and .308, along with the classic 722 and the 40X target guns. It also covers the Remington 700 Ultimate Muzzleloader and Bergara B14 short actions.
A flat zero MOA base works fine for closer work, but the 15 MOA cant on this EGW mount tilts the optic forward so you have more usable elevation adjustment left in the turret when you start dialing for longer shots. That means you keep your scope centered in its range rather than running out of clicks halfway through. It's a popular pick for folks building a precision or long-range setup on a Remington platform.
The base is machined from domestic 6061 T6 extruded aluminum and finished in a matte black anodize, so it stays light while shrugging off weather and handling. A relief channel runs down the center to cut weight, bringing the whole thing in right around two ounces. Full-length Picatinny cross slots give you plenty of room to position your rings and set proper eye relief, and in many cases the low profile leaves your factory iron sights usable. It's ambidextrous thanks to the beveled sides, and it works with any standard Picatinny or Weaver scope rings.
Installation is straightforward. EGW recommends torquing the screws to 20 inch pounds with a drop of blue thread locker to keep everything locked in under recoil. The rail is pre-drilled to accept both #6-48 and #8-40 screws, and the package includes both screw sizes plus the T-10 driver bit so you're ready to go out of the box. Keep in mind this Remington 700 base will not fit a Howa 1500 or Weatherby Vanguard, so double check your action before ordering.
Yes, the bolt pattern is made for short action Remington 700 rifles in calibers like .223 and .308, plus the 722 and 40X. It also fits the Remington 700 Ultimate Muzzleloader and Bergara B14 short actions. Just confirm you have a short action and not a long action before ordering, since those use a different base.
The 15 MOA cant tilts your optic slightly forward, giving you extra elevation adjustment in the scope for shooting at longer distances. If most of your shooting is closer in, a 0 MOA base is plenty, but if you're reaching out past a few hundred yards and want to keep clicks in reserve, the 15 MOA is the better call. It helps you avoid running out of turret travel when you dial up.
It does. The package includes both #6-48 and #8-40 screws along with a T-10 driver bit, since the rail is pre-drilled to accept either screw size. EGW recommends 20 inch pounds of torque with a drop of blue thread locker, which you'll want to supply separately.
No. Even though the bolt pattern looks similar, the ejection port cut and overall length of this Remington base won't work on the Howa 1500 or Weatherby Vanguard. You'll want a rail made specifically for those actions instead.
