The EGW Rem 700, 722, 40X Short Action 0 MOA steel scope base is a one-piece Picatinny rail built for shooters who want a rigid, no-fuss mounting solution on their Remington short-action rifles. Unlike factory bases that limit your optic choices and eye relief options, this steel base gives you the flexibility to dial in the perfect sight picture and swap scopes without breaking out tools. It's machined from hardened 4140 carbon steel and drilled to mate directly with your rifle's factory receiver holes—no gunsmithing required.
This is where EGW's engineering shows. The base is precision-machined to MIL-STD 1913 Picatinny specifications (±.002" tolerance) so your scope rings slide on cleanly and lock down tight. The full-width cross-slots accept any Picatinny or Weaver rings, meaning you're not locked into one brand or ring height. The 0 MOA design keeps things simple: no built-in cant, just a rock-solid platform for your optic.
Made from pre-hardened 4140 steel (Rc 35-35), this base is built to handle the recoil of hunting and range loads without flex or creep. It ships with Torx socket-head screws and a wrench; EGW specs 20 inch-pounds of torque and a touch of blue Loctite for permanent mounting. Lighter than cast-iron alternatives but heavier than aluminum, this steel base offers the rigidity serious shooters expect without the weight penalty of overbuilt designs.

Yes. The EGW base is drilled to align with the factory scope mount holes on Remington 700, 722, and 40X short-action receivers. No drilling or tapping needed.
Yes. The Picatinny rail accepts both Picatinny and Weaver scope rings, so you have flexibility in ring choice, height, and brand. The rail is machined to MIL-STD 1913 specs for tight, consistent fitment.
The base ships with socket-head Torx screws and a wrench. EGW recommends torquing the screws to 20 inch-pounds and applying a small amount of blue Loctite to the threads for a permanent installation.
0 MOA indicates the base has no built-in angle or cant. It mounts flat to your receiver, giving you a neutral platform for scope mounting and zeroing. Your scope's elevation turret does all the up-and-down adjustment.
