The Christensen 1Pc 20 MOA scope base for Remington 700 short action delivers the kind of precision mounting that separates solid hits from misses at distance. Built as a single-piece aluminum base, it's engineered to work with 2017 and newer Christensen Arms right-handed receivers or any standard Remington 700 short action, giving you a rock-solid platform for your optics whether you're running a factory gun or a custom build.
The 20 MOA taper built into this base is a game-changer for hunters and long-range shooters who want to push their zero further out without maxing out turret adjustments. Instead of climbing your scope's elevation dial into the stratosphere on distant shots, the angled base gives you extra mechanical advantage, keeping your adjustments in a comfortable operating range and your aim more precise. Aluminum construction keeps weight minimal—just 2.1 ounces with screws—so it won't add unnecessary bulk to your rifle.
Christensen Arms offers this base in your choice of black anodized or burnt bronze Cerakote finishes, so you can match your rifle's aesthetics. Installation is straightforward: torque the fasteners to 25 in/lb and you're ready to mount your scope. Whether you're building a long-range hunter, a precision target gun, or upgrading an existing Remington 700 action, this one-piece design provides the kind of durability and accuracy that Christensen is known for.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this base fit my Remington 700?
Yes, this 20 MOA scope base is designed for any standard Remington 700 short action and 2017 or newer Christensen Arms right-handed receivers. If you have an older or different action type, verify compatibility before ordering.
What's the difference between 0 MOA and 20 MOA?
The MOA angle built into the base provides mechanical elevation before you even touch your scope's turrets. A 20 MOA base tilts the scope upward, giving you extra adjustment range—ideal for long-range hunting or target shooting where you need to dial out further without maxing out your scope's internal adjustments.
How much does this base weigh?
The base weighs 2.1 ounces with screws included, keeping your rifle light without sacrificing a solid platform for your optics.
What torque spec should I use during installation?
Tighten the fasteners to 25 in/lb. Don't over-torque—this spec ensures a solid, repeatable mount without damaging the aluminum.
