The EGW Remington 783 Long Action 20 MOA scope base brings precision rail mounting to your Remington 783 without the gunsmith work. This one-piece Picatinny rail installs directly into your rifle's factory scope mount holes—no drilling, no tapping—and gives you a 20 MOA elevation boost built in. That's a real advantage for long-range shooters: the angled geometry lets you dial flatter trajectories and stack more elevation adjustment in your scope's turret, pushing your practical range without maxing out your optic.
Built from 6061 T6 aluminum and precision-machined to MIL-STD 1913 Picatinny specs (±0.002"), this base accepts any standard Picatinny or Weaver scope rings, so you're not locked into one ring design. The full-width cross-slots are gauged for consistent, repeatable ring placement. Installation is straightforward: the base uses socket head Torx screws (wrench included) torqued to 20 inch-lbs with a drop of blue threadlocker—exactly the kind of detail EGW specs so you get consistent zero hold and long-term reliability.
If you're setting up a 783 for hunting or the range and want to avoid a trip to a gunsmith, this base eliminates the hassle. The 20 MOA rake is subtle but effective, and it works with whatever optic and ring combo you already own or plan to add.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this base fit my Remington 783?
Yes—this base is drilled to match the factory scope mount holes on the Remington 783 Long Action receiver. Just align it with those holes and install with the included Torx screws. No additional drilling or modification needed.
What scope rings do I need?
Any rings with standard Picatinny or Weaver bases. The Picatinny slots are gauged to MIL-STD 1913 specs, so you have broad compatibility. Pick the height and design that fit your optic and shooting style.
Why would I want 20 MOA of elevation built in?
The angled geometry lets you use more of your scope's elevation turret for actual bullet travel at distance instead of maxing it out. That's useful for long-range hunting or target shooting where you're holding high and need fine adjustment room without running out of travel.
What's included in the box?
The base, socket head Torx screws, and a wrench for installation. EGW recommends torquing the screws to 20 inch-lbs with a drop of blue threadlocker for a solid, reliable zero.
