All of mine have a 1-piece Base. Reason being the older M7s only had " 1 " Rear Base Hole. Don't remember when they changed to 2 Rear Base Holes, but it has been awhile.
I believe the "New Profile" now fits the M700 SA Base Set, but that could be Full-of-Beans.

They've always been a challenge to mount bases on, due to the extremely short rear receiver ring. I don't like 1-piece bases, but mods might be necessary to do Talleys or other 2-piece bases.

I started a thread on the Gunsmithing forum regarding Gentry 2 pc bases for the older 3 screw Model 7. Does Talley make a 2 pc base for the old 3 screw receiver?
