Remington Rails

Why Choose a Remington Picatinny Rail?

A dedicated Remington Picatinny rail is designed specifically for the dimensions of the Remington 700 action, ensuring proper fitment and secure optic mounting. Compared to traditional two-piece bases, a one-piece Picatinny rail provides greater mounting flexibility and allows shooters to position optics exactly where needed for optimal eye relief and comfort. Rifle-specific rails also help maintain optic alignment and improve long-term zero retention.

Picatinny rails have become the industry standard for optic mounting due to their strength, repeatability and compatibility with a huge range of accessories. By fitting a Remington Picatinny rail, shooters gain access to countless scope rings, thermal optic mounts, night vision devices and long-range shooting accessories. The standardised MIL-STD-1913 interface ensures reliable compatibility across a broad range of shooting equipment.

For long-range shooters, MOA rail selection is particularly important. A 0 MOA rail is ideal for general hunting and target shooting, while 20 MOA and 30 MOA rails provide additional elevation adjustment within the scope, helping shooters engage targets at extended distances. Extended Gen II rail systems are also available for forward-mounted night vision and thermal setups.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Remington rail?

A Remington rail is a rifle-specific mounting platform designed to fit Remington rifles and provide a secure Picatinny interface for scopes, optics and accessories. Most options in this category are designed for Remington 700 rifles.

Which Remington rifles do these rails fit?

The category primarily includes rails for Remington 700 short-action and long-action rifles. Always check individual product compatibility before purchasing.

What is the difference between a 0 MOA and 20 MOA rail?

A 0 MOA rail sits level with the rifle receiver and is ideal for hunting and general shooting. A 20 MOA rail incorporates built-in elevation to maximise scope adjustment for longer-range shooting applications. Some Remington rails are also available in 30 MOA configurations.

What is a short-action versus long-action Remington 700?

Short-action rifles are typically chambered for cartridges such as .308 Winchester and 6.5 Creedmoor, while long-action rifles accommodate longer cartridges such as .30-06 Springfield and .300 Winchester Magnum. Selecting the correct rail is essential for proper fitment.

Can I mount thermal and night vision optics on a Remington rail?

Yes. Picatinny rails are widely used for thermal imaging devices, digital night vision optics and traditional riflescopes. Extended Gen II rail systems are also available specifically for forward-mounted thermal and night vision setups.

Are Remington rails made from aluminium?

Yes. Many Remington-compatible rails are CNC-machined from aircraft-grade 6061 aluminium and finished with hard anodising for durability, corrosion resistance and lightweight performance.

Are Remington rails easy to install?

Most Remington rails are supplied with mounting screws, fitting tools and thread-locking compound where applicable. Installation is generally straightforward when following the manufacturer's instructions and recommended torque settings.
