Unlocking Peak Performance: The Blackhawk Extended Multislot Picatinny Base for Remington 700 Short Action

For serious shooters, hunters, and tactical enthusiasts aiming to maximize the potential of their Remington 700 Short Action rifle, finding the right scope mounting solution is paramount. The Blackhawk Extended Multislot Picatinny Base is engineered precisely for this purpose, offering unparalleled versatility and rock-solid stability. This USA-made base is meticulously precision-machined to MIL-STD 1913 Picatinny specifications, ensuring a perfect fit and dependable performance with a vast array of optics and accessories.

Why Choose an Extended Picatinny Base for Your Remington 700 Short Action?

Many rifle enthusiasts, whether they're involved in long-range precision shooting, competitive tactical drills, or challenging hunting scenarios, often encounter common issues with standard scope mounting setups. These challenges frequently revolve around limited eye relief, difficulty accommodating larger objective lenses, or a lack of space for additional accessories like lights, lasers, or backup iron sights.

The Blackhawk Extended Multislot Picatinny Base directly addresses these pain points. Its design, which includes an additional 1 inch of forward length, is a game-changer. This extra real estate allows shooters to:

• Optimize Eye Relief: Mount larger scopes further forward or back to achieve perfect eye relief, crucial for rapid target acquisition and comfortable, extended shooting sessions.
• Accommodate Large Optics: Effortlessly fit modern high-magnification scopes with generous objective bells that might otherwise interfere with the rifle's action or ejection port.
• Increase Accessory Integration: Create ample space for mounting essential tactical accessories, ensuring your rifle is truly mission-ready.
• Enhance Versatility: Easily swap between different optics (e.g., a precision scope for long-range and a red dot for close quarters) without needing to re-zero extensively, thanks to the consistent Picatinny interface.

Engineered for Durability and Precision: The Core of Blackhawk's Design Philosophy

When investing in a crucial component like a scope base, durability and precision are non-negotiable. The Blackhawk Extended Multislot Picatinny Base excels in both regards. It is constructed from aircraft-grade 6061-T6 aluminum, a material renowned for its exceptional strength-to-weight ratio and resistance to fatigue. This robust foundation ensures the base can withstand the harshest recoil and environmental conditions without compromise.

Further enhancing its longevity and performance, the base undergoes a Type III hard-coat anodizing process. This surface treatment creates an incredibly hard, corrosion-resistant finish that protects the aluminum from scratches, abrasions, and the elements, preserving its sleek black appearance and structural integrity for years of demanding use. This level of material and finish selection signifies Blackhawk's commitment to producing products that meet and exceed professional standards.

Seamless Compatibility: Picatinny and Weaver Rings

A common question among shooters is "Will my scope rings work with this base?" Blackhawk has ensured maximum compatibility by designing this extended multislot base to be compatible with both Picatinny and Weaver-style rings. This broad compatibility means users aren't locked into a specific ring type, providing greater flexibility in scope mounting choices and potentially saving costs by allowing the use of existing quality rings. Whether you prefer the robust locking bars of Picatinny rings or the more common Weaver design, this base accommodates them all with a secure and stable interface.

What is 0 MOA and Why Does it Matter?

The Blackhawk Extended Multislot Picatinny Base for the Remington 700 Short Action is a "0 MOA" (Minute of Angle) base. What exactly does this mean, and how does it benefit the shooter?

A 0 MOA base, also known as a flat base, provides a level mounting surface for your scope, meaning it introduces no inherent cant or tilt. This is ideal for most shooting applications where the engagement distances are moderate, or where the scope itself has a significant amount of internal elevation adjustment. For many hunters and general-purpose shooters, a 0 MOA base simplifies the zeroing process and ensures that the rifle's point of impact aligns directly with the point of aim at a given zero distance. It's often the preferred choice for those who want a straightforward, reliable mount without introducing any built-in elevation compensation.

While some specialized long-range shooting setups might benefit from a canted base (e.g., 20 MOA) to maximize elevation adjustment for extreme distances, the 0 MOA Blackhawk base is perfectly suited for the vast majority of shooting scenarios with the Remington 700 Short Action, ensuring a true and consistent zero.

Optimizing Your Remington 700 Short Action with Blackhawk

The Remington 700 Short Action is a legendary rifle platform, known for its accuracy, versatility, and extensive aftermarket support. Upgrading it with the Blackhawk Extended Multislot Picatinny Base enhances its capabilities in several key areas:

• Improved Accuracy Potential: A stable, precisely machined scope base is the foundation for repeatable accuracy. Any flex or imprecision in the base can translate to inconsistent shot placement. The Blackhawk base's rigid 6061-T6 aluminum construction and exact MIL-STD 1913 machining eliminate these concerns.
• Enhanced Ergonomics: The added 1 inch of forward length can significantly improve shooting comfort by allowing for optimal eye relief and a more natural head position, reducing strain during prolonged shooting sessions.
• Future-Proofing Your Setup: As new optics and accessories emerge, a Picatinny rail ensures you can easily integrate them into your rifle system, keeping your setup current and adaptable.
• Simplified Installation: Designed for a precise fit on the Remington 700 Short Action, installation is straightforward, allowing shooters to quickly get their rifle ready for the range or field. Proper torquing of the mounting screws is always recommended for maximum security.
