One catch...make sure your M7 has 2 holes on the rear, some older models only had one hole tapped. https://www.burrisoptics.com/mounting-systems/xtreme-tactical-two-piece-base

The (3-hole) Seven's especially need all the integrity help they can get and the DD XP-100 1pc is trite on ring spacing.Hint. Flipside being Howie Mini's wearing JO BDL guts,as a 1913 rail slows things down,for loading the mag. The BurrAss is a nice way to fly there,as I wasn't "blessed" with Lady Fingers. Hint.

Barrel contour,stock design,the specific scope(obviously) and creature comforts. With a 1913 rail aboard a Seven/700 or similar and said glass,upon a Sporter contour,I can/do happily drive 1913 low rings. Hint. Have shot dozens,configured same. Hint...............

But the loading/ejection port is larger making it easier to load and unload. But this requires scope mounting holes to be pretty close together. The early model 7's only had one hole on the rear receiver ring which required 1 piece bases. Most people don't really want the truth. They just want constant reassurance that what they believe is the truth.

It opens up more options for mounts, and you don't have the 1 piece rail in the way of the loading/ejection port. “Might does not make right but it sure makes what is.”
