Talley Picatinny 1 Piece Base, 20 MOA, Black, for Remington Model 700 Short Action (8-40)

The Talley Picatinny 1 Piece Base for Remington Model 700 Short Action is a precision optic mount designed to anchor your scope directly to the receiver with minimal setup and maximum repeatability. Built on a true Picatinny rail, this all-in-one base eliminates the complexity of two-piece systems and the potential for shift between components—a real advantage if you're building or rebuilding a hunting rifle or range gun where you need zero to stick shot after shot.

The 20 MOA upward cant is built into the base itself, a feature that matters if you're setting up for long-range hunting or precision shooting where your bullet's arc will climb past your scope's usable adjustment range at distance. By angling the rail 20 minutes of angle, you gain additional elevation adjustment headroom on your scope's turret without sacrificing low-range capability. That's particularly useful on calibers like the .308 or other magnum rounds where extended-range shooting is in the cards.

The Remington 700 Short Action drilling is universal across Talley's product line, and this base fits the 8-40 screw pattern common to that action. Black hard-coat anodizing protects against corrosion and provides a clean, professional appearance. If you're mounting a scope on a 700 Short Action—whether it's a hunting rig or a precision AR—this single piece keeps your setup straightforward and your reticle in the same plane every time you shoulder the rifle.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this base fit my Remington 700 Short Action rifle?

Yes—this base is designed specifically for Remington 700 Short Action receivers with 8-40 screw holes. If you're uncertain about your receiver's threading, contact the manufacturer or a gunsmith to confirm compatibility before ordering.

What does the 20 MOA mean, and do I need it?

The 20 MOA upward cant is built into the base's angle. It's most useful if you're planning to shoot at extended range and need extra elevation room on your scope's turret. For typical hunting ranges (under 400 yards), a zero-MOA base is usually sufficient—but if you're stretching distance or shooting a magnum caliber, the extra cant helps maximize your scope's adjustment range.

Is this a one-piece or two-piece base?

This is a one-piece base, meaning the rail and receiver interface are integrated into a single component. That design reduces the number of potential failure points and simplifies mounting compared to traditional two-ring setups.

What scope ring system does this use?

This base features a Picatinny rail, which accepts Picatinny-compatible scope rings. Confirm your rings' Picatinny compatibility before purchase.
