The EGW Remington 740, 742, 760 and Ithaca 37 scope base is a one-piece Picatinny rail designed to bolt directly to your shotgun's factory receiver holes—no drilling, no tapping, no gunsmith required. If you're running a Remington pump or an Ithaca 37 and want to mount a modern optic with real adjustability, this is the straightforward solution. EGW machines these bases from extruded 6061-T6 aluminum and specs the Picatinny slots to MIL-STD 1913 tolerances, so you get a solid, repeatable platform that works with any Picatinny or Weaver rings.
The real advantage here is flexibility. Because the rail runs full-length, you can dial in your eye relief exactly where you need it—slide your rings forward or back to find your natural head position on the stock. That matters whether you're hunting with a low-power variable or running a dot for faster target acquisition. The milled center channel keeps weight down without sacrificing rigidity, and the extruded aluminum body won't let you down in the field.
Installation is handled with included socket head Torx screws; EGW specs 20 inch-pounds of torque and recommends a drop of blue Loctite to keep things locked in place through recoil and handling. Everything you need comes in the box, and the tolerances are tight enough that you'll have a scope platform that stays put and repeats reliably.
