The EGW Remington 788 Long Action scope base gives you a modern Picatinny rail mounted on a classic rifle without any gunsmithing. If you've got a Remington 788 chambered in .308, .243, 6mm, or 7mm-08 and you're tired of working around factory scope rings, this one-piece base bolts straight to your receiver using the existing factory holes—no drilling, no tapping, no trips to the gunsmith. You get a full-width Picatinny rail that accepts any standard Picatinny or Weaver rings, so you can dial in your eye relief exactly where you want it and swap optics as your hunting needs change.
Built from 6061 T6 aluminum and precisely machined to MIL-STD 1913 specifications, the rail is rigid and repeatable. The milled center channel keeps weight down, which matters on a rifle you're carrying all day in the field. Assembly is straightforward—EGW includes the socket head Torx screws and wrench you need, plus they recommend 20 inch-pounds of torque and a drop of blue loctite to ensure everything stays put through recoil and rough handling.
This is a clean, no-fuss upgrade for hunters and shooters who want better optic versatility without modifying a receiver. Whether you're mounting a compact hunting scope or a precision long-range optic, the Picatinny rail gives you the flexibility modern shooting demands.
