Designed meticulously to MIL-STD 1913 Picatinny specifications, this premium scope base transforms your rifle's mounting capabilities.

Whether you're a competitive precision shooter, a seasoned hunter pursuing game in diverse terrains, or a tactical enthusiast requiring robust and reliable equipment, this Blackhawk base provides the steadfast platform you need to achieve superior accuracy and operational flexibility.

Why Choose the Blackhawk Extended Multislot Picatinny Base for Your Remington 700 Long Action?

Choosing the right scope base is paramount to the overall accuracy and functionality of any rifle system. A subpar mount can negate the benefits of even the most expensive optics and rifles. The Blackhawk Extended Multislot Picatinny Base stands out as a superior choice due to its meticulous design, premium materials, and user-centric features.

This robust base is specifically crafted to address common issues faced by Remington 700 Long Action owners. Its thoughtful engineering ensures that your valuable optics remain securely zeroed, shot after shot, in even the most demanding conditions.

• Solving Eye Relief Challenges: One of the most common frustrations for shooters is achieving proper eye relief, especially when using larger scopes with generous objective lenses or when wearing bulkier clothing or gear. The Blackhawk base features an added 1 inch of forward length, a critical design element that provides a significant advantage. This extension pushes the mounting surface further forward on your rifle, allowing you to position your scope optimally for comfortable and consistent eye relief, eliminating the cramped feeling and potential for "scope bite." This added length also accommodates scopes with longer tubes or those requiring specific ring placements to clear turrets or power rings.
• Unparalleled Versatility for Accessories: Beyond scope mounting, the Picatinny standard opens up a world of accessory options. The "multislot" design means more slots along the rail, providing ample space to attach not just your primary scope, but also secondary optics, red dot sights for close-quarters engagement, laser designators, night vision devices, thermal imaging attachments, or even small weapon lights. This expansive mounting real estate means your Remington 700 Long Action can be customized for virtually any mission or environment, adapting seamlessly to changing needs without requiring additional, often cumbersome, mounting solutions.
• Precision Machined to MIL-STD 1913 Picatinny Specs: Adherence to the MIL-STD 1913 standard is not just a marketing claim; it’s a guarantee of interoperability and precision. This means any accessory designed to mount on a Picatinny rail will fit perfectly and securely onto this Blackhawk base. The precision machining ensures that your scope rings will align perfectly, reducing any stress on the scope tube and promoting repeatable accuracy. This attention to detail in manufacturing translates directly into a more stable and reliable shooting platform.
• Robust Construction for Enduring Performance: Built from 6061-T6 aircraft-grade aluminum, this mount offers an exceptional strength-to-weight ratio. This material is renowned in aerospace applications for its durability and resistance to fatigue, ensuring that your mount can withstand the rigors of recoil, adverse weather conditions, and rough handling in the field. The aluminum construction keeps the overall weight of your rifle system down, a significant advantage for hunters or anyone carrying their rifle for extended periods.
• Superior Corrosion and Abrasion Resistance: The base undergoes a Type III hard-coat anodized finish. This advanced electrochemical process creates a hard, durable, and corrosion-resistant surface that is significantly tougher than the underlying aluminum. It provides excellent protection against scratches, nicks, and environmental elements like moisture, salt, and chemicals, preserving the aesthetic integrity and functional performance of the mount over years of demanding use. This finish also contributes to a non-reflective, matte black appearance, critical for tactical applications and hunting scenarios where stealth is paramount.
• Compatibility with Both Weaver and Picatinny Rings: While adhering to Picatinny standards, this base also maintains compatibility with Weaver-style scope rings. This dual compatibility offers immense flexibility, allowing shooters to utilize their existing rings or choose from a wider array of available ring sets on the market without needing to purchase new, specific Picatinny-only rings. This ensures a seamless transition and broader choice in your rifle setup.
• Proudly Made in the USA: The "USA Made" designation is a testament to the quality craftsmanship and stringent manufacturing standards employed in producing this Blackhawk mount. It reflects a commitment to precision engineering and durable components, giving shooters confidence in their equipment's reliability and longevity.

Understanding 0 MOA and Its Role in Shooting Precision

The Blackhawk Extended Multislot Picatinny Base for the Remington 700 Long Action is a 0 MOA base. Understanding what 0 MOA signifies is crucial for optimizing your rifle's performance, especially for general purpose shooting, hunting, and moderate-range target practice.

• What is MOA? MOA stands for Minute of Angle, a unit of angular measurement commonly used in shooting. One MOA equates to approximately 1.047 inches at 100 yards. Scope bases can be manufactured with a built-in cant or tilt, measured in MOA (e.g., 20 MOA, 30 MOA).
• The Significance of 0 MOA: A 0 MOA base means the top surface of the rail is perfectly parallel to the bore of your rifle. There is no built-in upward or downward cant. This configuration is ideal for:
  • General Purpose Shooting: For most hunting and target shooting scenarios where engagements occur within typical hunting ranges (e.g., 100-400 yards), a 0 MOA base is perfectly sufficient. It allows your scope to be zeroed exactly to the rifle's bore axis, maximizing the internal elevation adjustment range of your scope for both upward and downward adjustments.
  • Optimal Scope Adjustment Range: By not "using up" any of your scope's internal elevation travel to compensate for a base cant, a 0 MOA base ensures that you have the full range of your scope's adjustment available for precise zeroing and for dialing in adjustments for different distances or windage. This is particularly beneficial if your scope has limited internal adjustment.
  • Ease of Zeroing: Zeroing a rifle with a 0 MOA base is generally straightforward, as the point of aim and point of impact adjustments are intuitive and linear relative to the bore.

While higher MOA bases (e.g., 20 MOA) are beneficial for extreme long-range shooting to provide more "up" elevation for bullet drop compensation, a 0 MOA base is the most versatile and recommended choice for the vast majority of shooters using a Remington 700 Long Action for its intended purposes. It simplifies the setup and ensures maximum utility of your scope's internal adjustments.

Key Use Cases for the Blackhawk Extended Multislot Picatinny Base

The versatility and robust design of this Blackhawk base make it an invaluable addition for a wide range of shooting disciplines and applications. Consider these common scenarios where the Blackhawk Extended Multislot Picatinny Base truly shines:

• Deer and Big Game Hunting: When afield, reliability is non-negotiable. This base provides a rock-solid platform for your hunting scope, ensuring it holds zero even after navigating dense brush, enduring inclement weather, or absorbing the recoil of powerful long-action cartridges. The extended length can be crucial for mounting larger hunting scopes that offer superior light gathering in low-light conditions, ensuring optimal eye relief even when wearing heavy winter gear.
• Target Shooting and Range Practice: For recreational shooters and those honing their skills, a stable mounting solution facilitates consistent grouping and accurate shot placement. The precise machining ensures that every click of your scope's turrets translates accurately to impact, making zeroing and range adjustments predictable and reliable.
• Tactical Training and Competition: In dynamic tactical environments or competitive shooting matches, the ability to quickly and securely mount various accessories is a significant advantage. The multislot design allows for the rapid attachment and detachment of secondary optics, lights, or lasers, adapting your rifle to evolving tactical situations. The rugged construction withstands the harsh demands of fast-paced scenarios.
• Building a Custom Rifle System: For those embarking on a custom Remington 700 Long Action build, this Blackhawk base serves as an excellent starting point. Its standardized Picatinny interface offers unparalleled compatibility with an expansive ecosystem of rings, optics, and accessories from various manufacturers, providing the freedom to tailor your rifle to your exact specifications.
• Solving Specific Mounting Challenges: Beyond general applications, this base excels in resolving niche issues. Perhaps you have a unique shooting posture that demands a forward-mounted optic, or you're using a specific scope that has limited mounting surface. The extended 1-inch forward length directly addresses these kinds of specialized needs, ensuring comfort and optimal performance.

Installation and Maintenance Considerations

While specific detailed instructions should always come with the product or be sought from a qualified gunsmith, understanding the general process and maintenance requirements can help you appreciate the user-friendly design of the Blackhawk Extended Multislot Picatinny Base.

• Installation: Typically, installing a Picatinny base on a Remington 700 Long Action involves aligning the base with the pre-drilled and tapped holes on the rifle's receiver. The base is then secured using appropriate screws (often included). It is critical to use the correct torque specifications for these screws to ensure a secure fit without stripping threads or over-stressing the receiver. Applying a small amount of removable threadlocker (e.g., blue Loctite) is often recommended to prevent screws from loosening under recoil. Always consult the rifle's and mount's specific instructions.
• Mounting Optics: Once the base is securely attached, your chosen scope rings are then mounted onto the Picatinny slots. The multislot design allows you to position the rings to achieve optimal eye relief and balance for your specific scope. Ensure the rings are properly aligned and torqued to the scope manufacturer's specifications to prevent scope damage or movement.
• Maintenance: The Type III hard-coat anodized finish on the 6061-T6 aircraft aluminum ensures minimal maintenance is required. Periodically, wipe down the base with a clean, dry cloth to remove dirt, dust, or moisture. If exposed to harsh conditions (e.g., saltwater, extreme mud), a more thorough cleaning with a mild solvent and brush may be necessary, followed by a light application of a protective oil. Always ensure the mounting screws remain tight, checking them periodically, especially after periods of heavy use or travel.
