Gunsmithing Help on rail mount selection

[BornLifted]

Good evening hiders,

Looking for some recommendations on fixing this shipping error. Receiver is a zermatt origin LA. Through research it seems like some zermatt rails are pinned, mine doesn’t seem that way. It was damaged through shipping, ouch, but fairly new to custom rifles. Looking for best option to replace the damaged rail. Rig will be for primarily hunting but also long range shooting. It’s a 300PRC build. Thanks in advance for your assistance.

reach out to Zermatt, my guess is they'll offer another rail for you to replace with.

I appreciate it, that’s what I was thinking just wanted to reach out to the experts. It was a new build never shot bought on here.

e\corrected.

Thank you very much man for your time. I greatly appreciate it

Just for clarity:

M700s and Zermatt stuff don't share compatibility with one another regarding scope bases. The issue is the rear bridge. M700s are lower in the back. Most aftermarket receivers are of constant diameter, and "Z's" are no different.

FWIW, my models are OEM originals from the source. Before Remmy went "supernova," I did a whole lotta work for them.

When in doubt, call the OEM and take their guidance for replacement parts.

Hope this helps.

It's a Remington 700 pattern receiver, so remove and replace.

All that means is that the bottom (where it mates to the stock) is dimensionally similar.

All bets are off elsewhere as @LongRifles Inc. pointed out.

Looks like @Zermatt Arms has a history of poorly packaging their materials. Except it seems they’re not in the business of making it right now, apparently it’s up to you to fix their problems as I found out.

Please reach out with your specific issues. If there was an issue that wasn't sorted properly, we're not aware of it.

@Zermatt Arms I was in contact with you yesterday and you stopped responding. I bought an action wrench from you that showed up damaged because it was loose in a box and came out during shipping. It doesn’t work because it’s now out of spec from the damage and you suggested I make it back to spec myself “if I think that will help it”.

Thanks for the clarification.

There was no response because you indicated you had solved the issue yourself by replacing it with another product among other things.

I'll be happy to send you a return label and a refund for the product. I'll reach out via email so we don't unnecessarily plug up a forum.

Respectfully - Ray
