Talley Picatinny 1-Piece Base for Remington Model 700 Short Action (8-40), 0 MOA - Black

A Talley Picatinny 1-piece base for Remington Model 700 short action rifles gives you a solid, no-fuss foundation for mounting modern optics. Built as a single rigid unit rather than the two-piece bases that plagued older setups, this rail eliminates the gaps and potential shifts that can throw off your zero. If you're running a scope on a Model 700 short action and want rock-solid repeatability without wrestling with multiple components, this is the kind of detail that matters before you ever touch the trigger.

Talley has been making scope bases since the 1970s, and their single-piece design is born from that long track record. The Picatinny standard rail is universal—it fits any optic mount built to Picatinny spec, so you're not locked into one brand or style. The 0 MOA configuration sits your scope at true horizontal, which means you're not fighting any factory cant or elevation presets. For hunters and shooters who prefer to keep things straightforward, that's clean engineering.

The black anodized finish is durable and doesn't reflect light—it'll stand up to field use and weather without flaking or degrading. Threaded for 8-40 screws (the standard for Remington 700 short actions), installation is straightforward if you have the right tools and know-how. If you're swapping a base or building a rifle from parts, verify your action length matches before ordering—this one is cut specifically for short actions, not long.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this base fit my Remington Model 700 long action?

No. This base is machined specifically for short action Model 700s. Confirm your action length before ordering—using the wrong base won't mount properly and creates safety issues.

What scopes and rings work with this Picatinny rail?

Any scope rings or mount designed to the Picatinny standard will work. That includes nearly all modern tactical and hunting optic systems. Check your rings' Picatinny compatibility—most modern options will fit.

What does 0 MOA mean?

0 MOA means the base sits flat with no factory elevation bias. Your scope will sit at true horizontal relative to the receiver, giving you a clean starting point for zeroing without fighting any built-in angle.

Do I need a gunsmith to install this?

Installation requires the correct tools and knowledge of proper torque specs for 8-40 fasteners. If you're not comfortable working on firearms, have a gunsmith handle it. Improper installation can affect accuracy and safety.
