MDT Picatinny Scope Base, Remington 700 SA, 20 MOA

• 20 MOA incline: adds built-in elevation to the mounting system, helping preserve more of the riflescope’s internal adjustment for longer shooting distances.
• Receiver-specific fit: the underside is profiled for the Remington 700 short action pattern, so the base sits flush and supports stable, repeatable optic alignment.
• 6061-T6 aluminum construction: keeps weight down while providing the rigidity needed for a dependable riflescope mounting platform on hunting and precision rifles.
• MIL-STD-1913 and STANAG 4694 interface: gives broad compatibility with Picatinny-style scope rings and mounts, making optic selection and setup more straightforward.
• Hard-anodized black finish: improves surface durability and corrosion resistance, which matters on a component that is regularly handled during installation and optic changes.

About the MDT Picatinny Bases Series

MDT Picatinny Bases are built as practical optic-mounting solutions for bolt-action rifles used in hunting, competition, long-range, and general shooting. Within MDT’s mounting lineup, this series covers a wide range of action footprints and lengths, giving shooters a consistent rail standard across different rifle builds. The series is offered in 20, 30, 40, and 50 MOA variants, allowing the mounting setup to be matched to the rifle’s intended distance and optic adjustment range.

A defining trait of the series is its focus on fit and interface quality. These bases are CNC-machined from 6061-T6 aluminum and finished with Mil-Spec Type II hard anodizing for low weight and everyday durability. The rails conform to MIL-STD-1913 and STANAG 4694 specifications, which supports compatibility with common Picatinny rings and mounts. MDT also shapes the underside to sit flush on the receiver and follow the ejection-port geometry, while selected models incorporate an integrated recoil lug where the action design allows it. The result is a rail series designed to give a secure optic foundation without unnecessary bulk.

About the MDT Picatinny Scope Base, Remington 700 SA, 20 MOA

The MDT Picatinny Scope Base, Remington 700 SA, 20 MOA is a fixed optic-mounting rail made for rifles built on the Remington 700 short action pattern. Its main advantage is the 20 MOA forward incline, which tilts the scope slightly to provide additional usable elevation adjustment. In practice, that helps shooters who want more room for dialing at distance while still using a conventional riflescope setup for hunting rifles, target rifles, or general precision builds.

The base is machined from aluminum and kept relatively light at a length of 165.00 mm, so it adds a solid mounting surface without making the rifle unnecessarily heavy. The black finish gives the rail a subdued appearance and adds surface protection for field use. Because this is a Picatinny-pattern base, it works with a wide range of compatible rings and one-piece mounts, which makes it easier to configure the rifle around different optic sizes and shooting roles.

Fit is especially important on a scope base, and this model is intended for receivers such as the Remington 700 SA and other compatible short-action platforms in the same footprint family. A receiver-matched base helps the optic sit correctly on the action, which supports consistent alignment and dependable retention under recoil. For shooters building a practical long-range or hunting rifle on the Remington 700 short action pattern, this MDT base provides the elevation bias and mounting standard commonly preferred for modern riflescope setups.
