The EGW Rem 700, 721, 725 Long Action 0 MOA scope base gives you a rock-solid foundation for mounting optics on your Remington 700 series rifle. This one-piece Picatinny rail mounts directly to your rifle's factory receiver holes with zero drilling or tapping required—a massive advantage if you want to keep your receiver stock or avoid permanent modifications. It's built from 6061 T6 aluminum, precision-machined to withstand the rigors of hunting, long-range shooting, and field work.
What makes this base stand out is its flexibility. The full-width Picatinny slots are gauged to MIL-STD 1913 specs (±.002"), so you can use it with any Picatinny or Weaver scope rings. That means you're not locked into one ring system or forced to buy proprietary hardware. The 0 MOA design keeps your setup simple and lets your scope's internal adjustments handle elevation changes—a clean, proven approach favored by hunters and shooters who want reliability over complexity. The milled center channel reduces weight without sacrificing rigidity, and you'll get fast, repeatable adjustments in eye relief since the slots let you slide rings along the rail.
Installation is straightforward: socket head Torx screws and wrench are included. EGW recommends 20 inch-pounds of torque and a drop of blue Loctite to lock everything down permanently. Whether you're mounting a hunting scope, a tactical optic, or swapping between multiple rings on the same base, this mount handles the job with the durability and precision you expect from a dedicated long-action platform.
