Need Rem 700 sight hole measurements

Post by 86er »

I need to know the hole spacing on the front and rear sights of a Rem 700. I have a no-name rifle with 1.98" hole spacing on the front and .540 hole spacing on the rear. I think the Rem rear will fit and I hope the front will too. Get out yer calipers and let me know, please.

Joe, I have a couple older 700's made around 1970. Both guns have the sights removed and screws in place of the holes. I got a measurement of .600 for the front sight and .540 for the rear sight spacing center to center. Looks like the rear will fit your rifle.
