What is the best scope base for a Remington 700?

EGW and PRI offer reliable Picatinny bases for long-range setups, while Leupold and Weaver provide classic 2-piece mounts for hunting applications.

Should I choose a 0 MOA or 20 MOA base for my Remington 700?

Use a 0 MOA base for shooting under 500 yards. Choose a 20 MOA base if you’re shooting at longer distances and need more scope elevation adjustment.

Are these bases compatible with short and long action rifles?

Yes. We offer Remington 700 scope mounts for both short and long action receivers with the correct hole spacing and rail length.

Can I install the scope base myself?

Yes. Most scope bases are drop-in and come with hardware. Use a torque wrench and blue Loctite to secure the mount properly.

At Mounts Plus, we offer a curated selection of Remington 700 scope mounts and rails to ensure your optic stays locked in—shot after shot.

🎯 Why the Right Scope Base Matters on a Remington 700

The Remington 700 is one of the most accurate and versatile bolt-action rifles in the world. But without a solid scope base, even the best optics can't perform to their potential.

Consistent zero retention
Precise windage and elevation tracking
Long-term durability under recoil
Compatibility with modern optics and accessories
