Area 419 · Remington 700 Short Action
A stiff Picatinny base – with a clear choice between ARC Top, Full Slotted, and 20/30 MOA
The Improved Scope Rail creates a form-fitting MIL‑STD‑1913 interface on Remington‑700‑Short‑Action systems. The integrated recoil lug supports the rail at the front of the action ring; decisive factors are receiver, screw pattern, top, and cant.
Before buying: check Short Action, screw pattern, and mount

Honest assessment
Full Slotted is the more error-tolerant choice if the later scope mounting is not yet final. ARC Top is a deliberate system decision and not suitable for every centrally supported mount. More MOA primarily expands usable elevation; it does not automatically make the system more precise.

Fits well if …

you use a Remington 700 Short Action or a confirmed SA footprint,
you want a one-piece 7075 aluminum Picatinny base with recoil lug,
top and cant match the planned mount and distance.



Fits less if …

you have a Long Action system or a different receiver contour,
screw pattern or Bergara version are unclear,
you want to combine ARC Top with Spuhr or MPA.

Variant selection with practical sequence


20 MOA · ARC Top Visually reduced Area‑419 top for many common Picatinny rings. Do not combine with centrally supported Spuhr or MPA mounts.

20 MOA · Full Slotted The most universal version for Picatinny mounts including Spuhr and MPA. The balanced entry for many hunting and long-range setups.

30 MOA · Full Slotted More elevation reserve for long distance. Check beforehand if the scope can still be zeroed safely at the desired zeroing distance.

Recoil lug Supports on the front system ring and relieves the mounting screws against shifting. Clean, stress-free mounting remains a prerequisite.

Avoid limits and bad purchases


Do not confuse Short Action with Long Action; receiver contour and hole pattern must clearly fit.
According to the manufacturer, early round Bergara Premier systems with serial prefix A00000 to F00000 do not fit; from G00000 the Remington pattern with 8‑40 holes is used.
ARC Top is not suitable for Spuhr or MPA mounts with central recoil lug.
For 30 MOA, check the remaining downward adjustment of the scope for the planned zero point.
A high-quality rail does not replace correctly aligned rings and professional mounting.

Technical data with practical reference


System Remington 700 Short Action or confirmed Remington-SA footprint.


Interface MIL‑STD‑1913 Picatinny – ARC Top or Full Slotted, depending on variant.


Material 7075 aluminum, Type‑III hard anodized in black.


Cant 20 or 30 MOA – selection based on adjustment range, zero point, and operating distance.


Screw pattern Compatible with 6‑48 and 8‑40; the specific system must be checked before mounting.


Torque Area 419 specifies 15 in‑lb for 6‑48 and 20 in‑lb for 8‑40; manufacturer’s specifications take precedence.

Scope of delivery
1 × Area 419 Remington 700 Short Action Improved Scope Rail in selected version, 4 × 6‑48 screws, 4 × 8‑40 screws, and 1 × T10 Torx wrench. Scope, mounting rings, and firearm are not included.

Mounting and safe check


Completely unload the firearm and secure the work area.
Clearly check Short Action, receiver contour, and screw threads.
Keep contact surfaces free of grease and burrs, mount rail without stress.
Tighten screws crosswise according to confirmed manufacturer instructions; do not use red high-strength threadlocker.
Then check function, case ejection, eye relief, and zero point.

Frequently asked questions
Which version is the most universal? 20 MOA Full Slotted offers the widest compatibility with Picatinny mounts and is usually the safe choice if the later mounting is still open.
Does ARC Top fit Spuhr or MPA? No. According to the manufacturer, a Full Slotted version is required for these centrally supported mounts.
When is 30 MOA useful? When more elevation travel is needed at long distance and the scope can still be zeroed at the planned zeroing distance.
Does the rail fit Remington 700 Long Action? No. This offer is designed for Short Action. A Long Action rail must be chosen separately.
Are screws included for both threads? Yes. Confirmed are four 6‑48 and 8‑40 screws each plus one T10 Torx wrench.

Black-Raptor conclusion
Full Slotted with 20 MOA is the versatile standard choice. ARC Top and 30 MOA only make sense as consciously planned variants if mounting, receiver, and optical adjustment range clearly match.
