Christensen 1Pc Remington 700 Short Action 20 MOA Scope Base

The Christensen 1Pc Remington 700 Short Action 20 MOA scope base is a one-piece mounting solution engineered for shooters building precision rifles on the Remington 700 short action platform. Whether you're dialing in a long-range hunting setup or fine-tuning a competition rifle, this scope base provides a solid, unified foundation that eliminates the potential for shift or misalignment between separate base components. The integrated 20 MOA elevation angle built into the base gives you additional vertical adjustment range—essential for magnum cartridges or extreme-distance shooting where you need every click of windage and elevation.

Christensen Arms doesn't cut corners on the hardware that holds your optic. This one-piece design means fewer failure points, better repeatability, and the kind of rock-solid platform serious shooters demand. The burnt bronze Cerakote finish resists corrosion and blends naturally with modern rifle aesthetics without sacrificing durability in the field. If you're running a short action .308, .260 Remington, or similar cartridge on a Remington 700 platform, this base slots seamlessly into your setup and gets you behind the glass faster.

Installation is straightforward for anyone with basic gunsmithing tools, though having a torque wrench and a quality screwdriver (or action wrench, depending on your approach) makes the job cleaner. The base is manufactured to tight tolerances, so you can trust it to hold zero through recoil and repeated shooting sessions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this base fit my Remington 700 rifle?

This base is designed for Remington 700 short action receivers. If your rifle has a short action, this will fit. Long action Rem 700 shooters will need a different base.

What does the 20 MOA angle do?

The 20 MOA built-in elevation angle increases your scope's vertical adjustment range, allowing you to dial up for distance without using up all your turret clicks. It's especially useful for long-range hunting or competition shooting with high-velocity or magnum loads.

Is this base one piece or two?

This is a true one-piece base, meaning the front and rear rings are machined as a single unit. That unified construction reduces the chance of shift or misalignment between components.

What comes in the box?

The base is sold individually. You'll still need scope rings and fasteners appropriate to your scope and rifle setup.
