Working on a build that is based on the Ed brown 704 action. The action is on the exterior a Remington 700 footprint.
I ordered a long action picatinny scope base for the rifle, and to my oversight, it did not fit.
The action is threaded to accept 8-40 screws. There are four holes tapped. Both measure .865” hole to hole. Length from rear to front hole is 5.963”. Am I missing something? Is there a 700 footprint rail that meets these screw spacing parameters? Ideally I’d like not to have to make a custom base.
