Davidson bases

[Greyfox]

I'm in need of a set of flat Davidson bases for an XP 100 sleeve. The hole spacing for a Remington 700 will work, but all I can find are for a round action. Anyone have a suggestion where I might look?

Can you mill a remington set flat? Steve at benchrite has a bunch of assorted sets maybe he has a flat universal blank. Harrels also makes nice dovetail bases and have them for remingtons. They would probably mill a set flat for you

Thanks for the suggestions Dusty. I don't have the capability to mill the Reingtons, but I have a local who will probably be willing to do it for me. I had thought of this, but was hoping to find something without doing it. I looked at Benchrite, but didn't see anything, so I may try and call. Sincliar/Brownells no longer has them in stock and says they can't get then. I think I've asked Harrell's to do this in the past and they declined. maybe not. This isn't a priority, but rather a winter project that I'm trying to finish soon. I'll let you know what I do for future refernce.

Get two front bases for a Rem as the rear won't match up.

You have to call steve at benchrite. He only has the mainstream stuff on his site.

Thanks for the tip. I'll check on it, but this sleeve is diferent than some others I've used. The spacing seems to be the same for both front and rear.

Use a piece of flat bottomed picatinny cut to length. EGW and other supply it.

What I'm saying is Remington spacing is different. .860" on the front and .600" on the rear.
I've made a lot of bases for Davidson sleeves over the years and they .all have .860" spacing.

Yes Dave, I wasn't clear with my reply, but I get it. They both have .860" spacing.
Thx,
