Egw Rem 700, 721, 725 Long Action 20 Moa Steel

The EGW Rem 700, 721, 725 Long Action 20 MOA steel scope base brings serious precision to your Remington long-action rifle. Built from hardened 4140 carbon steel, this one-piece Picatinny rail installs directly into your factory scope mount holes—no drilling, no tapping, no gunsmithing required. The 20 MOA built-in angle gives you extra elevation travel for extended-range shooting, making it a natural choice for hunters and long-range shooters who want to stretch their effective distance without compromising zero at typical hunting ranges.

EGW machines each base to exacting MIL-STD 1913 specs, with Picatinny slot-and-rail spacing held to ±.002" tolerances. The steel is pre-hardened to Rc 35-35 before final machining, ensuring the kind of rigidity that holds zero through recoil and temperature swings. The base accepts any standard Picatinny or Weaver scope rings, giving you flexibility to dial in the eye relief and mounting position that works best for your optic and shooting style. Socket head Torx screws and a wrench are included; EGW recommends 20 inch-lbs of torque and a touch of blue Loctite for final assembly.

Whether you're building a long-range hunting rig, a precision target rifle, or upgrading an older Remington 700 with modern optics and accessories, this EGW base gives you a rock-solid platform without the expense or hassle of a gunsmith visit. It's the kind of detail-oriented engineering that separates a rifle that shoots from one that *stays* zeroed.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this base fit my Remington 700?

This EGW base is designed for Remington 700, 721, and 725 long-action rifles. It mounts directly into the factory scope mount holes on your receiver, so no drilling or tapping is needed. Make sure your rifle is a long-action model; short-action guns will require a different base.

What does the 20 MOA angle do?

The built-in 20 MOA elevation angle tilts your scope upward, giving you extra elevation adjustment room in the turret for longer-distance shooting. This lets you dial farther out on target without running out of adjustment, and it keeps your zero at typical hunting ranges in a more usable middle position of your scope's adjustment range.

What scope rings do I need?

The EGW base accepts any standard Picatinny or Weaver rings. You'll choose ring rings based on your scope tube diameter (typically 30mm, 34mm, or 1-inch) and your preferred height and eye relief position.

What's included in the box?

The base comes with socket head Torx screws and a wrench for installation. EGW recommends torquing the fasteners to 20 inch-lbs and applying a small amount of blue Loctite for security.
