EGW Picatinny Rail Scope Mount for Remington 700/722/40X Short Action — 20 MOA, Machined Aluminum, Corrosion-Resistant

EGW's 20 MOA Picatinny rail scope mount for Remington 700/722/40X short actions provides a durable, precision-aligned platform to mount optics and add downward elevation for long-range zeroing.

Designed specifically for short-action Remington receivers, this EGW Picatinny scope mount replaces the factory base to deliver a repeatable clamping surface and built-in 20 MOA cant. Machined from robust aluminum and finished for corrosion resistance, the mount enables riflescope adjustments to be used more effectively at extended distances without pushing turrets to their limits.

How does the 20 MOA slope help when shooting at longer ranges?

The 20 MOA cant tilts the rear of the optic slightly downward relative to the bore, giving the shooter additional internal elevation travel in the scope. That means you can dial more up without running out of upward adjustment, which is helpful for higher-velocity loads or longer engagements. It’s a mechanical, non-electronic solution that stays consistent shot to shot.

• Built-in 20 MOA slope for extra elevation travel
• Prevents scope turrets from exceeding their upward range
• Ideal for long-range loads and heavy drop trajectories

Will this Picatinny mount fit my Remington 700, 722 or 40X short action?

This EGW mount is specifically machined to match short-action Remington receiver footprint and drilled/tapped hole pattern. It aligns to the factory receiver holes for a secure, repeatable fit and converts the receiver to a standard Picatinny rail for modern optics. Always verify your rifle is a short action Remington 700/722/40X variant before installing.

• Compatibility: Remington 700, 722, 40X short actions only
• Uses factory receiver mounting holes for secure attachment
• Converts receiver to Picatinny rail for wide optic compatibility

How does the mount affect accuracy and repeatability?

By providing a rigid, one-piece mounting surface, the EGW rail minimizes movement between the optic and receiver that can introduce POI shifts. Precision machining and secure fasteners maintain alignment even after heavy recoil, helping preserve the rifle’s zero. Proper installation with torque-specified screws ensures the best repeatability.

• One-piece aluminum construction for rigidity and light weight
• Precision-machined interface for consistent bore-to-optic alignment
• Stable retention under recoil when installed to recommended torque

What should I expect during installation?

Mounting this EGW Picatinny rail is a straightforward gunsmithing task for anyone comfortable with basic tools. The mount uses the receiver’s preexisting holes — remove the factory base, place the EGW rail, and torque the mounting screws to recommended values. After installation, bore-sight and confirm a live-fire zero; minor adjustments may be needed due to the 20 MOA cant.

• Remove factory base and clean mounting surfaces
• Install EGW rail to receiver holes and torque screws properly
• Bore-sight and verify zero on the range after fitting optics

Who is this for? This EGW Picatinny rail is aimed at shooters who need extra elevation travel for long-range shooting and who own a Remington 700, 722, or 40X short-action rifle. It’s suitable for precision shooters, varmint hunters, and anyone upgrading from factory mounts to a full Picatinny platform. If you want a repeatable, robust rail with a built-in 20 MOA cant for extended-range capability, this mount is a practical, low-profile choice.
