The EGW Rem 700, 722, 40X Long Action scope mount is a one-piece Picatinny rail system built for hunters and shooters running Remington 700, 722, or 40X long-action rifles who want to upgrade their optics mounting without gunsmithing. This is a heavy-duty base that bolts directly to your rifle's factory receiver holes—no drilling, no tapping required. The 20 MOA angle is built in, so you get the ballistic advantage for long-range shooting right out of the box without adding shims or workarounds.
EGW machines these from 7075 T6 extruded aluminum, the same material used in aerospace and heavy equipment. The rail itself is held to MIL-STD 1913 specs (±.002"), meaning any Picatinny or Weaver ring will lock down solid and stay put. The heavy-duty profile keeps the mount .100" lower than EGW's lightweight option, dropping your scope's sight line closer to the barrel centerline—a real advantage for cheek weld and point-of-impact consistency, especially if you're running a heavier rifle or shooting suppressed.
Installation is straightforward: the base accepts standard socket head cap screws (included) and an included Torx wrench. EGW's spec is 20 inch-pounds of torque with a small drop of blue Loctite to prevent shift over time. The Picatinny slot design also gives you fast, tool-free flexibility to slide your rings forward or backward for perfect eye relief with whatever scope you choose. If you're building a Rem 700 for hunting, precision rifle work, or long-range practice, this one-piece mount is a rock-solid foundation that removes variables from your gun's foundation.
