Re: base for 40x
Talk to Glen Seekins. He makes a "cutaway" base for Rem700 hunting rifles which works great on the 40X rimfire rifles. The cutaway allows more room for single loading.

Re: base for 40x
phlydog i apreciate the info but what im looking for is a base that works without bedding since the rear bridge area is a little lower on the cmp40x-b

Re: base for 40x
Mine wasn't and I set one up for a friend and Glen's base fit great on his as well. Have you tried more than one base?

Re: base for 40x
Both were heavy barrel models and based on the Rem700 receiver, knurled bolt knob & dogleg bolt handle rather than the straight handle & round knob.

Re: base for 40x
There should be no difference at all as far as the bridge area on either reciever. The 40x stardard barrel is based on the 721 action which became the 700 short action. The 40xb is a solid bottom copy of the 700 short action. I have several and have never had any problem with mounting a base. I've used several type an all work fine. By the way if that's the rifle that came from BG in NC it was mine and I know a 700 one piece will work as I had one on it. Donald
Don't flog me but the 721 is a long action. It's the 722 that was the short action that became the 700 short action and is the base action for the early 40x. I beg for forgiveness. Donald

Re: base for 40x
Ya BG told me you just had a shoot and you are looking to push yor range back aways. You are not far from Conway correct? Do you ever go down to the fish shop on the left before the bridge and get the soft shell crab sandwich. Damn good with a shot of hot sauce. Donald
