Talley Manufacturing Rem 700 Extension Front/Std Rear, Blue

Talley Manufacturing Rem 700 scope base sets are engineered for shooters who demand rock-solid optic mounting on their Remington 700 rifles. This two-piece base system pairs an extension front base with a standard rear base, finished in blue, and is built around Talley's machined saddle design—a platform proven across decades of field use and competition shooting. If you're running a Remington 700 and want your scope to stay exactly where you mount it, regardless of recoil impulse, a quality base is the foundation that makes it possible.

The core strength here is the double recoil shoulder system integrated into the saddle geometry. That design detail matters: under heavy recoil from magnum cartridges or rapid fire, it's the shoulders that lock the rings down and prevent any creep or shift. Talley bases are designed to accept both fixed Talley rings and Talley QD (quick-detach) rings, so you're not locked into one ring type—you can match the base to your shooting style and optic.

Whether you're setting up a long-range hunting rig, a precision target rifle, or a general-purpose field gun, the base is the invisible part of the equation that lets your scope and rings do their job. Blue finish integrates with most 700s and resists corrosion in the field. This is the kind of component that doesn't draw attention until it's not there—and that's exactly the point.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this Talley base work with my Remington 700?

Yes. This base system is specifically designed for Remington 700 rifles and accepts Talley-manufactured rings.

Can I use both fixed rings and quick-detach rings with this base?

Yes. The saddle design accommodates both fixed Talley rings and Talley QD rings, giving you flexibility in how you want to mount and potentially remove your optic.

What does "extension front" and "standard rear" mean?

The extension front base positions the front ring farther forward than a standard front base, which can provide additional eye relief or better balance depending on your optic and rifle setup. The standard rear base is the conventional rear mounting position.

How does the double recoil shoulder design help?

The double recoil shoulders lock the rings into the saddle geometry to prevent any shifting or creep when your rifle fires, especially important with heavy recoil from magnum calibers.
