HD Remington 700, 722, 40x Long Action Picatinny Rail Scope Mount 0 MOA
We recommend measuring the hole spacing in your receiver to confirm it matches with the dimensions we have published. Picatinny cross slots run the full length of the rail, which gives the shooter flexibility when mounting scope rings and other accessories. The channel in the center reduces the overall mass of the mount. Also, in many cases, it will not obstruct usage of factory iron sights. Our one-piece scope mounts are the obvious choice for hunters and tactical shooters alike. We machine these in our shop using one of our machining centers. After machining, the mounts are tumbled, sand blasted, and Type III anodized for long lasting durability.

Optic Information
Rifle scopes permit you to precisely aim a rifle at various targets by aligning your eye with the target at range. They accomplish this through magnification using a series of lenses within the scope. The scope’s positioning can be dialed in for the consideration of numerous environmental elements like wind and elevation to make up for bullet drop.
The scope’s purpose is to help the shooter understand precisely where the bullet will hit based on the sight picture you are seeing using the optic as you align the scope’s crosshair or reticle with the intended target. Many contemporary rifle scopes and optics have about eleven parts which are arranged inside and on the exterior of the scope. These parts consist of the rifle scope’s body, lenses, windage and elevation dials or turrets, objective focus rings, and other parts. See all eleven parts of an optic.
Rifle Optic Styles
Rifle scopes can be either “first focal plane” or “second focal plane” style of scopes. The sort of focal plane a scope has establishes where the reticle or crosshair lies relative to the optic’s zoom. It literally means the reticle is situated behind or before the magnifying lens of the optic. Picking out the very best style of rifle glass is dependent on what variety of hunting or shooting you anticipate doing.
Info About First Focal Plane Glass
Focal plane scopes (FFP) include the reticle in front of the magnification lens. These kinds of scopes are helpful for:
- Quick acquisition, far away types of shooting
- Shooting circumstances where computations are minor
- Experienced shooters who understand their target “hold over” plus “lead” correlations for their weapon
- Shooters who do not mind the reticle is bigger and occupies more visual sight area than a SFP reticle
Second Focal Plane Glass
Second focal plane optics (SFP) include the reticle behind the magnification lens. In the FFP example with the SFP scope, the 5x “zoom” one hundred yard tick would be 1/5th of the non “zoom” tick reticle measurement.
- Far away kinds of shooting where shooters have more time to make ballistic calculations
- Shooting where most shots happen within shorter ranges and distances
- Shooters who like a clearer optic picture without area taken up by the larger sized FFP reticle
Glass Zoom
The quantity of magnification a scope offers is determined by the diameter, thickness, and curvatures of the lenses inside of the rifle scope. The zoom of the scope is the “power” of the scope.
Fixed Power Lens Rifle Optic Info
A single power rifle scope will have a magnification number designator like 4×32. This means the zoom power of the scope is 4x power while the objective lens is 32mm. The magnification of this kind of scope can not fluctuate considering that it is set from the factory.
About Variable Power Lens Scopes
Variable power rifle scopes use enhanced power. The power modification is accomplished by the power ring part of the scope near the back of the scope by the eye bell.
The Power and Range Correlation of Rifle Optics
Here are some suggested scope power levels and the distances where they could be efficiently used. Keep in mind that higher power scopes will not be as efficient as lower powered optics and scopes due to the fact that excessive magnification can be a bad thing. The exact same idea applies to extended ranges where the shooter needs to have enough power to see exactly where to best aim the rifle.
Info on Rifle Scope Lens Coatings
All contemporary rifle optic lenses are layered. Lens coating is a vital element of a rifle when purchasing high end rifle optics and scope systems.
ED Versus HD Optics
Some rifle scope manufacturers also use “HD” or high-def glass finishes which make the most of various processes, elements, rare earth compounds, and polarizations to enhance separate color ranges and viewable target visibility through lenses. This high-def coating is frequently used with increased density lens glass which reduces light’s potential to refract through the lens glass. Some scope makers use “HD” to refer to “ED” indicating extra-low dispersion glass. ED deals with how colors are presented on the chroma spectrum and the chromatic aberration which is similarly called color distortion or fringing. Chromatic aberration can be visible over objects with hard shapes as light hits the object from specific angles.
Details on Single Finishing Versus Multi-Coating
Different optic lenses can likewise have various finishes used to them. All lenses generally have at least some type of treatment or finish used to them before being used in a rifle scope or optic.
Single layered lenses have a treatment applied to them which is generally a protective and improving multi-purpose treatment. This lens treatment can safeguard the lens from scratches while minimizing glare and other less beneficial things experienced in the shooting environment while sighting in with the optic. The quality of a single layered lens depends upon the scope developer and the amount you spent on it. Both the manufacturer and amount are signs of the lens quality.
Some scope manufacturers likewise make it a point to specify if their optic lenses are covered or “multi” coated. This suggests the lens has multiple treatments applied to them. If a lens gets numerous treatments, it can prove that a producer is taking numerous actions to combat different natural factors like an anti-glare finishing, a scratch resistant anti-abrasion finish, followed by a hydrophilic finishing. This also doesn’t always imply the multi-coated lens will perform much better than a single coated lens. Being “better” hinges on the manufacturer’s lens treatment techniques and the quality of glass used in creating the rifle glass.
Anti-water Rifle Optic Lens Finish
Water on a lens does not assist with preserving a clear sight picture through an optic in any way. Many top of the line or premium optic manufacturers will coat their lenses with a hydrophilic or hydrophobic covering. The Steiner Optics Nano-Protection is a fine example of this type of treatment. It treats the exterior surfaces of the Steiner scope lens so the water particles can not bind to it or develop surface tension. The result is that the water beads move off of the scope to maintain a clear, water free sight picture.
Choices for Installing Rifle Scopes on Firearms
Mounting approaches for scopes can be found in a couple of options. There are the basic scope rings which are separately installed to the optic and one-piece scope mounts which cradle the scope. These various kinds of mounts also typically can be found in quick release versions which use throw levers which permit rifle shooters to quickly install and remove the scopes.
Hex Key Rifle Scope Ring Mounting Solutions
Standard, clamp style mounting scope rings use hex head screws to install to the flattop design Picatinny scope mounting rails on rifles. These types of scope mounts use double detached rings to support the optic, and are normally constructed from 7075 T6 billet aluminum or similar materials which are designed for far away accuracy shooting. This kind of scope mount is good for rifles which need to have a durable, unfailing mount which will not shift regardless of how much the scope is moved or jarring the rifle takes. These are the design of mounts you should get for a dedicated scope setup on a long distance scouting or tournament rifle that will pretty much never need to be changed or adjusted. Blue 242 Loctite threadlocker can additionally be used on screws to keep the hex screw threads from wiggling out after they are mounted firmly in position. An example of these mounting rings are the 30mm type made by the Vortex Optics brand. The set normally costs around $200 USD
Quick-Release Cantilever Glass Rings
These types of quick-release rifle scope mounts can be used to quickly attach and detach a scope from a rifle before reattaching it to a different rifle. Several scopes can also be swapped out if they all use a similar style mount. These types of mounts are convenient for rifles which are carried a lot, to swap out the optic from the rifle for protecting the scope, or for scopes which are used between multiple rifles.
What to Know About Scope Tube Sealing and Gas Purging
Moisture inside your rifle scope can mess up a day of shooting and your pricey optic by bringing about fogging and producing residue inside of the scope tube. The majority of scopes prevent wetness from going into the scope tube with a system of sealing O-rings which are water resistant.
Info Around Glass Tube Gas Purging
Another part of avoiding the accumulation of moisture inside of the rifle scope’s tube is filling the tube with a gas like nitrogen. Because this area is currently taken up by the gas, the optic is less affected by temp changes and pressure variations from the external environment which may possibly permit water vapor to permeate in around the seals to fill the vacuum which would otherwise be there. These are good qualities of a decent rifle scope to look for.
