Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles Best rings and bases for Remington 600/XP-100?

I'm in need of some new rings/bases for both a 600 Mohawk as well as my XP-100, and I'm pretty sure they both use the same, though I could be wrong. Does Talley make a set of lightweights for these actions? If they do, I must've missed it. If they don't, what's the next best option? I'm looking for a 2 piece mount, not a 1 piece.

Thanks!

If there is a 2-pc mount fo the M-600, then I'm not aware of it's existance. It MIGHT be possible to use mounts meant for a M-Seven and D&T an extra hole in the rear recv'r ring. I don't know.... You'd have to ask a gunsmith.

Or better yet, a call to Talley, would likely tell you... Ask for Customer Service...

Try using the Leupold 1 piece Dual-Dovetail base with either low or medium rings. I use this combo for all my model 7, 600 and 660 with 3 holes in the receiver. Very good set-up. I also use the Talley 1 piece base with lever-loc rings on a Rem 600. Rem 673 is the same Receiver. All will use the same bases.

Another vote for the dual dovetails. I love them on mine. I did have weavers for many many years and never had any trouble with them either.

What the above 2 said.

if you want light weight talleys if you the best with no weight consiederations burris sig. series

The mounts for a 600/660/XP100 are all the same.

You can use Talley LW for a Rem M7. You (or a gunsmith) will have to D&T another hole in the rear bridge to match the M7 pattern. The rear bridge on an M7 and 600/XP100 are the same so you are not weakening the integrity of the action.

Here are Talley LWs on my 600s...

Another 2-piece route, albeit also requiring the 4th hole, is a Warne base for the Rem 7 which would allow use of any Weaver compatible ring set. For a 1-piece option EGW makes Rem XP100/7/600 Picatinny rails (aluminum) in compatible 3- and 4-hole patterns, with and w/o 20 MOA for $40. OT

OT brings up a good point that I left out. Once you properly D&T for the second hole on the rear bridge, any M7 mount will work.

RH

just a note the newest mod-#7's do have 2 holes in the back of the action so now the same 1 peice base can be used for them and the 700SA

I used a M7 two piece talley lightweight. Had a smith D&T the second hole. Works great.

On my three XP-100's I have the Leupold 1 piece for the Model 7's, no complaints.

I have 1-piece Weaver bases on most of my 600/660s with either B-Square or Warne rings. Seems to work pretty well.

LW's are the answer Today............

LW's are definitely going to be on order. I recall seeing himmelrr's rifles with the Talley's before, just wasn't sure what he had to do to get them to work.

Drilling an extra hole in the action and tapping it ain't no thang, so I'll go that route. I really dig the look of the Talley mounts. For whatever reason, I prefer the look of the 2 piece versus a 1 piece setup.

Thanks for all the input, everyone!

As the rear bridge on the XP/600/7 is lower than the 700SA most consider this an improper fit, even though one of the rear holes may align. Have not tried it myself but do know for certain an unmodified Warne 700SA Picatinny rail will block the bolt on a 7... I also decided on the D&T for the Talley LW and will give it a go when the goods arrive. OT

yeap the holes do aline and leupold is just making one 1 peice base now but may they are wrong too ?

Idholton, Nope - guess you're right, I AM WRONG. Where I got the impression that rear bridge height/contour is different, I do not know... OT

Just scoped a 600 with a Leupold 700sa base works just fine. The 700sa one piece base will fit the 600s and both version of the model 7. The Leupold 700sa base only has three mounting holes.

Tough to get giddy about 3 fasteners and an adjustable windage rear.

Just sayin'................

I know there are better options. But I did not want to drill and tap and it is only a 243. Not worried about recoil problems. I have used the same mount on a 600 in 350 mag with no troubles.

The XP 100DD 1 piecer smokes it,if forced to suffer 3 fasteners. Recoil is but a single facet of puking a STD rear................

I sipped the Talley LW KoolAid and like the results. Am at 7.1 pounds now. D&T on the kitchen table went smooth. Have posted in the gunsmithing forum in that regard. These Talleys are Low and the scope, as mounted, lines up perfect with my eye, a great fit that I look forward to getting out in the field. Will likely use this M8 4x long-tube scope on a long action and get a shorter one, when I can, for the SEVEN. OT

Pretty sure Conetrol still makes a 1 piece base. Conetrol is second to none.

Never was a fan and would greedily take Posilign DD's in an XP 1piecer,over it.

Hell...I'd prolly even mechanically center windage and pad ele...............

what 2 piece dual dovetail....not the std with the windage screws would fit a rem 600...i know i will have to d&t the 4th hole but is not a problem....just dont like the windage screws
Thanks
Al

Not enough room on the rear base to allow for a DD two piece. Talley LW's work. DNZ one piece works. Both are light.

For actions with only three base screws it's hard to beat the DNZ mount. They're light & strong.

Fixed it for ya

Thank you.

I used one set of Talley LWs and I thought they were as ugly and didn't like how I had to crank in way too much windage. I changed to Burris Zee rings and a Warne one piece base on the same rifle and the windage went to the other side but only slightly off center. The Talleys are sleek compared to the DNZ but the LWs aren't for me. YMMV

One man's pearl is another man's turd.

Option 1) Talley Lightweights (Model 7)

Option 2) Leupold 1pc. Dual Dovetail base (XP-100)

Option 3) Ken Farrell Picatinny/Weaver base (XP-100)

Sorry to dig up an old thread, but I am having this same issue and I was wondering if anyone has used a Ken Farrell XP-100 base on a 600? I'm assuming the holes will line up just concerned about the extended front clearing the raised recoil lug on a 600? Another option is the EGW HD Rem 7/XP-100 base.

Any help would be appreciated.

Conor

don't know about the lightweights but I do know they'll take their 600/660/model 7 one piece mount, cut it, machine it & reblue it at no extra charge. They did mine for my XP100 recently and it looks great.

Just to add another option, but the Gentry steel, two piece bases work if one D&T's a second hole for the rear base. They are steel, and they weigh 2.8 ozs. I've had them on my custom 660 for several years now. They hold up fine even if the rifle gets knocked around pretty hard.
I didn't like the one piece bases. They are heavy and partially block the loading port. E

Found this:

Murphy Precision

It's a bit more expensive but i've read reviews on other forums about them and apparently their work is flawless and extremely precise. Their 600/XP-100 base only runs the length of the receiver so there is no issue with it clearing the recoil lug on a 600. I emailed him to find this out and he even offered to custom machine one with an extended front which would clear the lug if i wanted more mounting room. Titanium is an option as well. Price wise may not be an option for everyone but I don't mind paying for quality so I think i'll go for one of these in titanium.

I understand some people won't like them and prefer two piece bases etc but I was looking for a picatinny rail as it gives you a wide range of mounting options and i'm a fan of burris signature rings (Weaver style) so this base is perfect for me.

Old thread but I'd like to revive it. Is there a new and old type M7?

Yes. Old ones only had one scope base hole behind the action port, while newer ones have two holes. As a result, most people use a one-piece base on the old ones, to avoid the predicament of a rear 2pc base being held on with just the one screw. A gunsmith can always drill and tap another hole on an older model.
