Re: Clip on on a Remington model 7?
I believe you can put a 700 base on a model seven, you can only use one screw on the rear of the base ( my dedicated model seven base only used one screw in the rear base any way). I am thinking worst case you might have to trim a little off the rear base if the overhang bothered you.
*now if three screws will hold a mars rail a scope and a clip on, that is a different story!( sounds like a recepie for a loose base to me.)
