Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles Model 7 scope bases?

I recently came across a Remington model 7 used at a tempting price. It is a stainless/synthetic in 7mm-08 for $399. I know some of the first model 7's came with 3 holes for scope bases and later changed to 4. This one already has a 1 piece base so I could not easily tell. I would prefere to use a 2 piece base, probably Talley's. I think this gun is new enough that I should be able to use 2 piece bases. Anyone know for sure.

Just to add, I have not bought the rifle, just thinking about it. I don't think I made that clear initially.

Look at the rear receiver ring for one hole or two, it should answer your question. That is a good price.

Because of the one-piece base you will need to remove the bolt to check for the second screw, per supercrewd's advice. They are through holes in the rear bridge.

If it's a 3-hole, you can alway's drill & tap the fourth. Thats what I did..
