Wherever you buy it, be sure it's like the Steve Earl model -- quite thick at the top where the sight mounts. Most of the 513T's had the thinner mount for the smaller (with less windage adjustment) Mod. 75 rear sight. Redfield made both bases and since the 513T was a medium grade target rifle (compared to the Ans. 54, Win. 52 & 40X), most owners used the less expensive Mod. 75. The thicker base centers the longer Red. Int'l., Olympic and Palma windage arms properly on the smaller receiver of the 513. Plus the 2 bases have different size threads for the sight attaching screw, and the bar at the top with these holes are different dimensions.

This base is marked 540. The hole spacing is .83. It is for the small diameter action. $37.50 shipped. I have other bases with .6 hole spacing also.

Mark, that base is for the Rem. 540X. I'll try to dig out the model number that Redfield stamped on the base for the 513T when using the larger Redfield sights such as the International.

For general info. the Redfield catalog listed the proper sight base as the R-513 when using the larger Redfield rear sight and 75-RT when using the smaller #75 receiver sight.
