Thread: Modify Remington 700 talley rings to fit Model Seven

Has anyone seen/heard of this being done? Chop a 700 rear ring shorter and bang new holes through it on the correct spacing. The front action bridge is identical, just the rear bridge is shorter, correct?

It appears to be the only way to obtain a 34mm direct mount ring for the Model Seven. Please correct me if I am wrong on this.


Rail + picatinny rings = somewhat heavier than Talleys so prefer to avoid if possible.
