M40a1 scope base?

[Rick H]

Hello all, its been along time since I've been here! Good to be back! and I have a question...I have a custom M40a1 with a clip slot action. The rear bridge is milled flat which has made it very difficult to find a proper base for it. Do any of you have any ideas who makes these special bases for this rifle? Thanks in advance!!

Thanks OilyOwl, I talked to them at the SHOT show last month and they couldnt help me. They suggested I contact Iron Brigade Armory which I did but I didnt hear anything back from them so I assumed they dont have any either...running into a brick wall. I would love the get a scope on this rifle and shoot it!

Badger clip slotted 20MOA rail on a s/a 700.

The issue is escaping me.

Yes, the guys at the Badger booth told me they have the clip slotted bases but not for the flat milled rear bridge. Thats the brick wall I'm running into...is your M700 milled flat on the rear bridge? Thanks!

I know Badger used to make bases for this type of M700 action but they no longer do..so I'm just hoping someones else makes them...
