The EGW Rem 700, 722, 40X Long Action 30 MOA scope base is a one-piece Picatinny rail system engineered for Remington 700, 722, and 40X long-action receivers. If you're running a precision rifle that demands repeatable, rock-solid optic mounting without the hassle of gunsmithing, this is your answer. EGW machines these bases from 7075 T6 aluminum—the same material spec you'll find in aerospace components—and delivers 30 MOA of integrated elevation to support long-range shooting angles right out of the box.
Installation is straightforward: the base drills directly into your rifle's factory scope mount holes, zero gunsmithing required. Once mounted, it accepts any Picatinny or Weaver scope rings, giving you genuine flexibility in optic choice and eye relief adjustment. The heavy-duty profile sits lower than EGW's lightweight alternative, which means your scope sits closer to the barrel centerline for cleaner sight pictures and reduced poi shift. The Picatinny slots are precision-gauged to MIL-STD 1913 specifications (±.002"), so your rings will lock in with zero slop.
EGW includes everything you need: socket head Torx screws, a wrench, and installation guidance recommending 20 inch-pounds of torque and a touch of blue Loctite. Build quality here is solid—this is the kind of mount that won't loosen or shift after hard use in the field or on the bench.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this mount fit my Remington 700?
Yes. The EGW base is drilled to fit the factory scope mount holes on Remington 700, 722, and 40X long-action receivers. No drilling or tapping is needed.
What scope rings work with this base?
Any rings with Picatinny or Weaver dovetails will work. The Picatinny slots are MIL-STD 1913 spec, giving you broad compatibility and the flexibility to dial in eye relief exactly as you need it.
What does 30 MOA mean, and do I need it?
The 30 MOA of integrated elevation means the rail itself is angled upward by 30 minutes of angle, so your scope sits at a natural upward pitch. This is valuable for long-range hunting and precision shooting, where the extra elevation room helps you zero your scope without maxing out its internal adjustment turrets.
What hardware and tools come with it?
EGW includes socket head Torx screws, a Torx wrench, and installation instructions. EGW recommends torquing the screws to 20 inch-pounds and applying a small amount of blue Loctite to prevent loosening under recoil.
