Description
If your Remington 783 Long Action is set up for reaching out past 500 yards, this EGW 20 MOA Picatinny rail is the kind of upgrade that pays for itself the first time you dial up for a far shot. It's a one-piece base machined from domestic 6061 T6 aluminum, built to bridge the receiver and create a single rigid platform that factory two-piece bases just can't match. The 20 MOA of built-in downward cant tilts your optic forward, which frees up more of your scope's internal elevation so you can dial for distance without running out of adjustment and bottoming out your turret.
What the EGW 783 Long Action Rail Fits
This mount is cut specifically for the Remington Model 783 Long Action, which covers chamberings like .30-06, .270 Win, 7mm Rem Mag, and .300 Win Mag. It will not fit the 783 Short Action or the Remington 700, so if you're running a .308 or .243 you'll want the short action version instead. The center spread between the two middle receiver holes measures 3.540 inches, and it's worth measuring your own receiver hole spacing to confirm the match before you order.
Why the 20 MOA Pick Makes Sense
The full-length Picatinny cross slots run the entire length of the rail, so you've got plenty of room to slide your rings fore and aft to nail proper eye relief. A machined center channel trims weight down to around 2 ounces without giving up any rigidity, and in many cases the low 0.4 inch height won't block your factory iron sights. The beveled edges on both sides make it ambidextrous, and the matte black Type II anodized finish holds up to real field use.
Installing the Remington 783 Rail
Mounting hardware comes in the box, including #6-48 screws in two lengths and a T-10 bit. The short screw goes in the frontmost hole. EGW recommends torquing to 20 inch-pounds with a drop of blue threadlocker to keep everything locked in under recoil. It's a quick install that sets you up for a far more capable long-range rig.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this EGW rail fit my Remington 783 Short Action?
No, this mount is machined specifically for the Remington 783 Long Action, covering cartridges like .30-06, .270 Win, 7mm Rem Mag, and .300 Win Mag. If you're running a short action chambering such as .308 or .243, you'll need the 783 Short Action version instead. It also does not fit the Remington 700. Measuring your receiver hole spacing against the 3.540 inch center spread is a good way to confirm you've got the right one.
What does the 20 MOA on this Remington 783 rail actually do for me?
The 20 MOA refers to 20 minutes of angle of built-in downward cant on the rail. That forward tilt shifts your scope's usable elevation range so you can dial up for longer shots without running out of internal adjustment. It's the better pick if you're shooting out toward 500 to 1000 yards, while a 0 MOA rail is plenty for shorter distances.
Does this rail come with everything I need to mount it?
Yes, the mounting hardware is included, which consists of #6-48 screws in two lengths plus a T-10 bit. The shorter screw goes in the frontmost hole. EGW suggests torquing to 20 inch-pounds and adding a drop of blue threadlocker so nothing works loose under recoil.
Will this rail block my factory iron sights on the 783?
At just 0.4 inches tall from the top of the receiver to the top of the rail, it sits low, and in many cases it won't obstruct use of your factory iron sights. That said, sight clearance can vary, so it's smart to check your specific setup after install. The low profile also helps keep your optic mounted close to the bore.
