EGW
The EGW Rem 700, 722, 40X Short Action 20 MOA steel scope base is a one-piece Picatinny rail system built for shooters who want rock-solid precision without breaking out the drill press. Machined from 4140 carbon steel and pre-hardened to Rc 35-35, this base drops directly onto your Remington short-action receiver using the factory mounting holes—no gunsmithing required. The 20 MOA cant built into the rail gives long-range hunters and precision rifle shooters extra elevation adjustment headroom, letting you dial in higher velocities or reach farther targets without maxing out your scope's internal elevation turret.
EGW's engineering shows in the details. Picatinny slots are gauged to MIL-STD 1913 specs to ±.002 inches, so your rings won't shift or chatter. The cross-slots run the full width of the rail, giving you complete freedom to position any Picatinny or Weaver ring exactly where you need it—critical for dialing in eye relief quickly on hunting trips or between shooters at the range. The rigid steel construction keeps deflection out of the equation; this base won't flex under recoil or temperature swings.
Installation is straightforward: the base uses your rifle's existing receiver holes, so mounting takes minutes with the included socket-head Torx screws and wrench. EGW specs 20 inch-pounds of torque and recommends a drop of blue Loctite for permanent security. If you're upgrading an older Rem 700 or 722 short action with a modern scope setup and need those extra elevation clicks, this steel base delivers the precision and adjustability serious shooters expect.
