The EGW Remington 597 scope base gives you a modern one-piece Picatinny rail system for your Remington 597 without any gunsmithing. Drop it in using the factory scope mount holes—no drilling, no tapping—and you're ready to mount optics. Built from 6061 T6 extruded aluminum and precision-machined to MIL-STD 1913 specifications, this mount accepts both Picatinny and Weaver rings, so you have flexibility in choosing your optic or making changes down the road.
The cross-slots are gauged to +/-.002" tolerances, giving you the repeatability and rigidity you need for consistent shooting. The lightweight tactical profile includes a milled center channel to shave weight without sacrificing strength. Whether you're setting up a hunting rifle, a target gun, or a plinker, this base lets you dial in eye relief quickly and move between scope choices without removing the mount from the gun.
Installation is straightforward: use the included socket head Torx screws, tighten to 20 inch-pounds of torque, and apply a light dab of blue loctite. EGW includes the wrench you need to install it. The result is a solid, no-nonsense foundation for your optic setup.
