Remington Model 7 Scope mount clearance p

[FatCatsDad]

I'm using a Leipold standard 2 piece base, but it looks like the rear mount blocks the loading gate/ejection port.

It's the corrwct part number , installed in the correct direction, screws closest to muzzle.

Is this going to cause problems ?

That looks terrible. That will always interfere with top loading the magazine. I would sure look for something else.

I think that base is for a 700 SA ?
I found the ones you recommend,but Silver.
Found on the EE.

Thanks.

The rear base in the top picture is for a Remington 700.
It is a Burris mount I found after removing it today.

How can you get the windage screws in the correct position without alignment bars ?

Insert the windage screws, count how many turns until they bottom out. Use thsoe numbers to center them, and check your alignment. - dan

Go buy yourself a 1" wooden dowel.
Or look around yer casa for a broom handle.
Sticker in the front ring.
Make sure the front ring is in there where it needs to be.
Put your rear ring in the base and go 1/4-1/2 turn on the rear base windage screws until
the ketchup to the ring.
Go slow and wartch wutt yer dewn.

I did tjrlw them out, turns out the part number on the is for a 700 not a 7
I've like these windage adjustable bases and and have the right ones now...my friend had alignment bars I used.....but I moved...so no more access.

I have Talley's on my 10-22,o don't care for them.

I came up with a different number of turns each time I tried it.
Thank you though

Correct - you have the wrong rear base mount ... I use LW Talleys on mine
