How to Choose the Best Scope Base for Your Remington 700 Short Action:
Selecting the right Remington 700 Short Action scope base is crucial for accuracy and durability.
If you're looking for the best performance, a one-piece Picatinny rail is the way to go.
It provides a rock-solid foundation for your optic, better durability, and more flexibility than two-piece or Weaver-style bases.
Let’s break down what you need to know.
One-Piece Scope Bases Are the Best Choice
A one-piece scope base offers better performance than two-piece designs in nearly every way.
More Stability – A single piece of 6061-T6 aluminum eliminates potential misalignment.
Increased Durability – Fewer parts mean fewer failure points under recoil.
Better Optic Positioning – More mounting slots allow precise eye relief adjustments.
Handles Heavy Recoil – Built to withstand the force of .223, .308, and other short-action calibers.
If you're mounting a scope on a Remington 700 Short Action, 722, or 40X, a one-piece Picatinny rail is the best choice for reliability and precision.
Picatinny vs. Weaver – Why Picatinny Wins:
While both Picatinny and Weaver bases exist, Picatinny is the clear winner for a Remington 700 Short Action.
More Mounting Flexibility – Picatinny rails have standardized spacing, allowing easier scope positioning.
Better Compatibility – Works with Picatinny and Weaver rings, while Weaver bases have inconsistent slot spacing.
Superior Strength – Designed for military use, Picatinny rails handle recoil better than Weaver bases.
If you’re looking for the best setup, go with a Remington 700 Picatinny rail over a Weaver base every time.
#8 Screw Compatibility – Do You Need to Drill It Out?
Some Remington 700 models, including the 700 Police and 700 LTR, require the base to be drilled out for #8 screws.
Our mounts are Factory Pre-Drilled so they can use both #6-48 and #8-40 screws.
0 MOA – Ideal for short- to mid-range shooting (0-500 yards).
20 MOA – Best for long-range shooting (500-1000 yards).
Proper Installation & Torque Settings:
To get the most out of your Remington 700 Short Action Picatinny Rail, proper installation is key.
Torque Specs: 20 in/lbs
Thread Locker: We recommend a drip of blue Loctite (sold separately) to prevent screws from loosening under recoil.
Beveled Design: The mount is ambidextrous and features bevels on both sides for left- and right-handed shooters.
Why Choose EGW’s Remington 700 Picatinny Rail?
Full-Length Picatinny Cross Slots – Maximum flexibility for scope and accessory placement.
Lightweight & Durable – A central channel reduces weight while maintaining strength.
Picatinny & Weaver Compatible – Works with both types of scope rings.
Proudly Made in the USA – Every mount is CNC-machined, sandblasted, and Type II anodized for long-lasting durability.
Fitment Warning – This Rail Will NOT Fit the Howa 1500 or Weatherby Vanguard.
5 STAR REVIEWS:
"Installed rail on my new Remington 700. Then mounted my Vortex Viper PST Gen II. Super easy."
"Pic rail went on a Bergara as if it grew there. I appreciate the ambi relief cuts, having had to mill other mounts to allow LH ejection. I have many EGW mounts on pistols and none have ever disappointed me."
"Perfect fit on my Bergara B14R and a great price."
