Talley Steel Base for Remington 799

• Steel construction: The base is made from steel for a rigid mounting platform that stands up well to repeated recoil and hard field use.
• 0 MOA inclination: A flat base keeps the optic aligned in a conventional setup, making it a practical choice for general hunting and sporting rifle applications.
• Low 4.00 mm base height: The compact profile helps keep the scope close to the bore, which supports a natural cheek weld and a tidy rifle setup.
• Model-specific fit: Built for the Remington 799 and compatible with the Zastava 85 Mini Mauser, this base is intended to match the receiver correctly for secure installation.
• Compatible with Talley dovetail bases: It is designed to work within Talley’s dovetail mounting system, giving shooters a traditional steel base option that integrates with matching Talley components.

About the Talley Bases Series

Talley Bases are Talley’s traditional scope-mounting platform for shooters who want a separate base-and-ring arrangement rather than an integrated one-piece mount. The series covers a wide range of firearm models, which makes it relevant for both common and less common actions where a correct receiver fit matters. A defining feature of the line is the use of machined bar-stock construction, which gives the bases the rigidity expected from a steel mounting solution while maintaining precise dimensions.

Within Talley’s lineup, the series sits as a classic option for hunting rifles and sporting firearms that benefit from a strong, straightforward interface between rifle and optic. Talley describes these bases with double recoil shoulders, a design intended to keep the mount seated securely under recoil. The bases are also intended for use with Talley Fixed Rings or Talley Quick-Detachable Rings, so the system can be configured either for a more permanent setup or for shooters who want the ability to remove and reinstall an optic with repeatability. The overall design philosophy is simple: firearm-specific fit, solid materials, and dependable alignment for practical field use.

About the Talley Steel Base for Remington 799

The Talley Steel Base for Remington 799 is a model-specific mounting solution for shooters using the Remington 799 or the closely related Zastava 85 Mini Mauser action. Its role is straightforward but important: it creates a stable interface between the rifle receiver and a compatible Talley dovetail ring setup, which is the foundation for consistent scope alignment and dependable zero retention.

The use of steel is the key characteristic of this model. In practical terms, that gives the base the stiffness and wear resistance many shooters want on a traditional hunting rifle or compact sporting action, especially when the rifle may be carried often, used in rough terrain, or subjected to repeated recoil over time. The black finish keeps the appearance subdued and appropriate for a field rifle, while the 0 MOA configuration suits standard optic mounting without introducing additional cant. That makes it a sensible choice for conventional sighting distances where a flat mounting plane is preferred.

The 4.00 mm base height helps maintain a low-mounted optic setup when paired with the right rings, which can improve cheek weld and preserve a more natural shooting position. Because this base is designed around Talley’s dovetail system, it also suits shooters who prefer a traditional steel mounting arrangement with clean lines and a secure mechanical fit rather than a bulkier rail-based setup.
