Find direct mount scope rings for Remington 700 rifles in 1-inch and 30mm options. These ringmounts attach directly to the receiver, giving shooters a clean, low-profile way to mount an optic without adding a separate Picatinny or Weaver base.
This style is popular for hunting rifles, field rifles, and lightweight Remington 700 builds where simple fitment and reduced height matter. The right set depends on your rifle’s action length, scope tube diameter, ring height, screw pattern, and clearance needs.
Before ordering, confirm whether your rifle is short action or long action, check your scope’s main tube size, and review the product title carefully for fitment details.

How to Choose the Right Rings for Your Remington 700
A direct mount ring set needs to match both the rifle and the scope. Small details like action length, tube diameter, receiver screw size, and ring height can determine whether the part fits correctly.
Use the product listings to compare brand, size, height, and configuration. Then review the individual product page before placing your order.
Direct Mount Rings vs Picatinny Rings
Direct mount rings attach straight to the rifle receiver. They do not require a separate rail or base. This keeps the setup simple and can help reduce overall height and weight.
Picatinny rings work differently. They clamp onto a Picatinny rail. If your rifle already has a rail installed, choose rail-compatible rings. If you want the scope mounted directly to the receiver, choose a direct mount option made for the Remington 700.
A rail setup may be better if you need more eye-relief adjustment, plan to change optics often, or want more flexibility for ring placement. A direct mount setup is often better when you want a dedicated, lightweight optic installation.
Confirm Short Action or Long Action
Remington 700 rifles come in short action and long action configurations. The action length affects fitment, so this is one of the first details to check.
Short action rifles are commonly chambered for cartridges such as .223 Remington, .243 Winchester, 6.5 Creedmoor, 7mm-08 Remington, and .308 Winchester.
Long action rifles are commonly chambered for cartridges such as .25-06 Remington, .270 Winchester, .30-06 Springfield, 7mm Remington Magnum, and similar longer cartridges.
Always confirm your exact rifle model and the product fitment before buying. A short action ringmount and a long action ringmount may look similar, but they are not always interchangeable.
Match the Scope Tube Size
The rings must match your scope’s main tube diameter. Most options in this category are made for either 1-inch or 30mm scopes.
A 1-inch scope needs 1-inch rings.
A 30mm scope needs 30mm rings.
Do not guess based on the outside size of the scope. Check the scope manufacturer’s specifications for the main tube diameter before choosing a ring set.
Choose the Correct Ring Height
Ring height affects clearance, cheek weld, and how naturally your eye lines up behind the scope. The goal is usually to mount the optic as low as practical while still leaving enough clearance for the objective bell, barrel, bolt handle, and receiver area.
Medium rings work well for many standard hunting scopes.
High rings are often used for larger objective lenses or setups that need extra clearance.
If your scope has a larger objective lens, check the product details carefully before choosing medium height. If the scope sits too low, the objective bell may not clear the barrel or other parts of the rifle.
Check the Receiver Screw Pattern
Some Remington 700 receivers use standard 6-48 screws, while some models or modified receivers use larger 8-40 screws. If a product title or description mentions 8-40, make sure your receiver matches that screw pattern.
This detail matters. A ringmount made for one screw pattern may not be correct for another receiver.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are Remington 700 direct mount rings?
They are scope rings or ringmounts designed to attach directly to the rifle receiver without using a separate Picatinny or Weaver base. They are often used for lightweight, low-profile hunting and field rifle setups.
Are direct mount rings the same as Picatinny rings?
No. Direct mount rings attach directly to the receiver. Picatinny rings attach to a Picatinny rail. If your rifle has a rail installed, choose rail-compatible rings. If you want to mount directly to the receiver, choose a direct mount option made for your rifle.
Do I need short action or long action rings?
You need to match the ringmount to your rifle’s action length. Short action and long action Remington 700 rifles may require different parts. Check your rifle model and product description before ordering.
Do I need 1-inch or 30mm rings?
Match the rings to your scope’s main tube diameter. A 1-inch scope needs 1-inch rings. A 30mm scope needs 30mm rings. These sizes are not interchangeable unless a product is specifically designed with proper inserts.
Should I choose medium or high rings?
Choose the lowest height that gives your scope enough clearance and still feels comfortable behind the rifle. Medium rings work for many standard hunting scopes. High rings are often used with larger objective lenses or setups that need more clearance.
What does 8-40 mean on Remington 700 rings?
8-40 refers to a larger receiver screw size used on some Remington 700 setups. Some rifles use 6-48 screws, while others use 8-40 screws. If a product is marked for 8-40, confirm that your receiver uses that screw pattern.
Can I use direct mount rings on a rifle with a Picatinny rail?
No. Direct mount rings are made to attach to the receiver, not clamp onto a rail. If your rifle already has a Picatinny rail installed, choose Picatinny-compatible rings instead.
Are receiver-mounted rings good for hunting rifles?
Yes. Many hunters prefer this style because it can reduce weight, keep the scope lower, and create a simple receiver-mounted setup. A rail system may be better if you need more adjustment or plan to swap optics often.
Can I use Remington 700 rings on a Remington 700 clone?
Not always. Some Remington 700-pattern actions use different hole spacing, rear bridge profiles, recoil pin locations, or screw sizes. Confirm compatibility with the specific action before ordering.
Does Mounts Plus carry 1-inch and 30mm options?
Yes. Mounts Plus carries Remington 700 ringmount options in common scope tube sizes such as 1 inch and 30mm, with availability depending on brand, action length, height, screw pattern, and finish.
