Which scope rail for a Rem Mod 7?

[Alfred Crouch]

Want a rail for mounting a scope on a Rem Mod 7. What would you suggest? I do not know anything about the subject. Thanks for any and all input. My current 2 piece Leupy mounts puts the scope to far back. It hits the head from recoil every once in a while ... even when consciously allowing all the space I can. I think a rail will allow me to move the scope forward more. It is on a 7 mm SAUM.

Remington XP 25 MOA 3 Hole - $25.99 : Evolution Gun Works , World Class Precision Parts

This one should fit the 3 or 4 hole Model 7 receivers.

If you want a 4 hole rail, this one should work

+1 for the EGW, and try and make a conscious effort to hold your head square to the scope. If you tip your head in at all, you will get smacked. That is something I have to think about every once in awhile.

I believe that there is a long list of us who will not buy another EGW. That list is down in the optics section of the forum.

What were the complaints? I have had nothing but good things to say about mine!

Well ..... Buffalobob ..... If not EGW what rail would you use? Your input is greatly appreciated.

If you don't mind putting out some bucks for a quality scope base check out Near Manufacturing or Seekins. If weight is an issue the Seekins bases are lighter. Both build excellent rails.

Near makes good stuff but imho are just a bit to proud of them. My egw base works great. Bought the 20moa base and it brought my zero down 20.25 moa. I went with a less expensive mount so I could swing the mk4 rings. I am very happy with this setup.
