Just saw their ad, and decided I probably "need" one of these. So, following my own advice, I called them -- spoke to "Dustin" -- to inquire about the base thickness for the Rem 700 version. At present, they have these (LA and SA) ready to ship. Their Savage versions are not yet back from the anodizer.
Anyway, the Rem 700 base is 0.408" thick in the front, and 0.551" in the back, as measured from the middle (low) point of the radius to the top of the base. And this is a 20 MOA taper. (I did not think to ask Dustin whether he was measuring a LA or SA base, but that difference, given the extra length and geometry involved, would probably be a few thousandths at most..."
So, if you're thinking of using the new Xtreme Picatinny base w/built-in bubble level for a Rem 700, just factor that dimension into the equation with the OD of your intended scope, and then pick ring height accordingly. Dustin opined that "medium" rings ought to do it. I almost hung up on him right then and there, but instead I told him that such terms mean nothing because every manufacturer uses different dimensions.
