Remington 700 receiver drop/radius behind loading port

[pokadex_]

I am working on a Remington 700 based optic mount design and can't find any information on the dimensions highlighted below. I can tell that the recessed face it has a radius to it, and I can roughly measure the drop with an action I have on hand but I can't measure the radius accurately with the tools that I have. If anyone knows the actual drop per-design, and the radius of the rear optic mounting face that would be awesome.

Do you have a Remington base and reverse engineer it?

I do, but without a laser scanner I can only approximate the radius of it.

Approximately would be enough and then bed the mount to the action.

I am designing a new base so I need the actual dimension to draw it up and model it in CAD. Best I can do there is trace the ends of the rail I have and put that drawing in to CAD then scale/trace haha

Remington short action dimensions

Have just started looking at my sons 260 Rem based on late 80s (I think) Rem action serial number C6617865 in order to assess what degree of MOA rail it needs to allow for more elevation on the scope. He has a Sightron 8 -32 x 56 which appears to have almost 80 moa total range and his current 100...

That is exactly what I am looking for, thank you!
