EGW Remington 740, 742, 760 Picatinny Rail

• One-piece Picatinny platform: Replaces older two-piece mounting arrangements with a continuous rail, giving more freedom to position a riflescope or red dot for proper eye relief and ring spacing.
• 0 MOA alignment: Keeps the optic level with the bore for straightforward zeroing at typical hunting and general-purpose distances, without adding built-in elevation cant.
• 6061-T6 aluminum construction: Keeps weight down while providing the rigidity needed for a stable optic interface on classic Remington self-loading and pump-action rifles.
• 13-slot rail layout: Offers generous mounting space for different optic sizes and ring positions, which is useful when adapting older rifles to modern optics.
• Matte black anodized finish: Adds corrosion resistance and a low-reflection surface that suits field rifles and blends cleanly with most receivers and optic setups.

About the EGW Picatinny Rails Series

EGW Picatinny Rails are built as practical mounting solutions for shooters who want to fit modern optics to proven rifle platforms. Within the company’s lineup, this series focuses on giving rifles a one-piece Picatinny interface that is simple, durable, and widely compatible with current rings and sight mounts. The design is especially relevant for hunting and utility rifles where dependable optic mounting matters more than unnecessary bulk.

A defining feature of the series is its use of 6061-T6 aluminum, which keeps the rail light while maintaining enough stiffness for everyday field use. Many rails in the family also use a lengthwise center valley, a design EGW originally intended to accommodate backup iron sights while trimming excess material from the mount. Across the series, different models are offered for specific receiver patterns and, where applicable, in 0, 15, or 20 MOA versions to suit different zeroing needs. The result is a straightforward family of rails made for shooters who want a clean, stable base for scopes or red dots on classic American rifle actions.

About the EGW Remington 740, 742, 760 Picatinny Rail

The EGW Remington 740, 742, 760 Picatinny Rail is made for shooters who want to modernize a classic Remington hunting rifle with a more versatile optic mounting system. Instead of being limited by older base patterns, this rail creates a full-length Picatinny mounting surface that accepts a broad range of scope rings and optic mounts. That makes it easier to fit everything from a traditional hunting scope to a compact red dot, while also helping achieve better eye relief on rifles with different stock dimensions and shooting positions.

This model uses a 0 MOA profile, which suits general hunting and everyday field use where a neutral mounting angle is preferred. Its 139.00 mm length and 13-slot layout provide useful flexibility for ring placement, especially when working with optics that have limited tube space or when balancing scope position on older rifle actions. The rail is machined from aluminium and finished in black matte, so it adds minimal weight while maintaining a subdued appearance appropriate for sporting rifles.

For fitment, this rail is designed for the Remington 740, 742, and 760 receiver pattern and uses 6-48 mounting screws with a 4-hole layout. In practice, that gives these rifles a more stable and adaptable optics platform than older two-piece arrangements, making the rifle easier to set up for precise zeroing and more convenient to reconfigure as optic needs change.
