Egw Remington 700, 722, 40X Short Action 20 Moa Silver

If you're running a Remington 700, 722, or 40X short action and want to mount a modern scope without permanent modifications, the EGW Remington 700, 722, 40X Short Action 20 MOA scope base delivers exactly that. This one-piece Picatinny rail mounts directly to your rifle's factory scope holes—no drilling, no tapping—and gives you the flexibility to dial in eye relief and swap between optics without fussing with bedding or alignment.

The 20 MOA built-in angle is a genuine asset if you're stretching your long-range shooting capability. That incline adds elevation range to your scope's adjustment knob, which means you can stay within the refined center of your reticle at distance instead of running out of elevation. For hunters and precision riflemen who want to make 300-yard, 400-yard, or even longer shots, that extra MOA buys you real estate on the dial.

EGW machines these bases from 6061 T6 extruded aluminum—the same material trusted in aerospace and precision tool work—so you get rigidity without unnecessary weight. The Picatinny slot-and-rail spacing is MIL-STD 1913 certified to +/-.002" tolerance, which means it'll lock down with any standard Picatinny or Weaver rings. The design includes a milled center channel for tactical applications where every ounce counts. You get socket head Torx screws and a wrench in the box; EGW recommends 20 inch-pounds of torque and a touch of blue Loctite to keep everything secure.

This is the kind of mount that handles both hunting and range work—solid, precise, and no permanent commitment to your rifle's receiver.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this mount work on a Remington 700 short action without drilling?

Yes. The EGW base installs directly into your rifle's factory scope mount holes. No drilling, tapping, or gunsmithing required.

What does 20 MOA mean, and why does it matter?

The base has a 20 minute-of-angle built-in upward angle. This gives your scope's elevation turret additional room to dial up, which is especially useful for long-range hunting or precision rifle shooting where you need more elevation travel to stay on target at extended distances.

What scope rings will work with this mount?

Any Picatinny or Weaver rings will work. The rail is machined to MIL-STD 1913 Picatinny specifications, so you have plenty of options from quality ring manufacturers.

What comes included?

You get the base itself, socket head Torx screws for installation, and a wrench. EGW recommends 20 inch-pounds of torque and a small amount of blue Loctite when installing.
