I am looking for a Picatinny rail to put on my 7 mm Rem Mag. Was set on Larue until I did some research and found out their quality is not that good, now I'm lost, any suggestions? The scope is a S&B 5-25x56 PMII and the ring are Bobro QD one piece. I appreciate any suggestions.
Best Picatinny Rail for Remington 700 Long Action?
- Thread starter SOTXLR
- Start date
I'm running a Leupold mark 4 15 Moa on my 26" and the mark 4 two piece on my 20". Looking at going one piece soon. Not sure if I like the two piece set up.
I am looking at a budget picatiny scope base to put on my grandpa's old 721 so I can move the rings closer together and not have to keep using two offset rings. Its just an old hunting rifle so with budget in mind I have been looking at the weaver base. I'm pretty sure the 700 base will work on a 721. Any confirmation on this?
I have two w/ two piece and one single rail.
All MKIV.
I much prefer the two piece.
Solid, low, and plenty of loading port finger space.
I would say Near as well. I have used Richards's bases on a Rem 700, TRG 22 and a brake for the TRG 22. His bases for the TRG 22/42 are much better than the Sako base. I have been to Richard's shop and seen him work and his attention to detail and quality of work is amazing imho.
I have broke Nightforce base. Badger is also weak design. Ken Farrell is my choice now. I don't think there is any better.
175 bucks for the near? Some of you guys sure like paying 100 bucks more than you have to, fuck that!

I have a 20moa Badger base on my M40 and love it, but if you don't want to spend the money I have a 20moa TPS XP Tactical 1 piece base on all of my remington 700's. make sure you get the alloy steel and not the aluminum one. cost is low at only $65 but I wouldn't recommend it if I wasn't happy with it.
Don't press check? Do not need to clear - ever? add one?
I do like the space. Just me-
I have owned Leupy, Nightforce and EGW bases. I have the Ken Farrell 20MOA base and the machining is outstanding. The Ken Farrell is far beefier than any others that I have seen.
I'm running the Blackhawk extended 20moa with recoil lug. Very reasonably priced and a great quality.
Another vote for the Seekins Precision. I have never been disappointed with anything Glen makes. I've always found his components to be in of the highest quality.
This is what I used on my r700, I most likely could have gotten by and not bed it, but....bedding the rail is too easy of a step to by-pass.
Near is the best imo.
You get what you pay for. There are plenty of other choices that are very good. You use a S&B so.....

You will want to run a 45 MOA base with the S&B, so I would say Near as well. I run a 20MOA Nightforce rail on a 338 Edge with a S&B 5-25, I can only get to 19.6 mils on the 2nd rev of the turret, so a 45 MOA is ideal. Seekins makes a 30MOA LA rail, I always choose Seekins first, great guy with amazing customer service and products, plus he is a great guy.
