20 MOA BASE????
« on: September 27, 2010, 06:25:55 AM »
Do i need one?  i want to get a 1-Piece Picatinny-Style base to put on my savage 243 when i replace the el-cheapo scope that came on it.  At what range does the 20moa base become useable?  i have never really shot much over 100-200 yards, but am wanting to slowly build my rifle into something that i can shoot longer distances with.  maybe 300-500 yards.  I think a standard base will suit me just fine, but just wanted to get an opinion before i clicked "buy".

I would think you can get to 500 yards with a standard base. . Alot depends on how much adjustment your scope has.
I dont care what gun Im using as long as Im hunting

Unless your going to be shooting 800 yrds. plus you don`t need one.

ordered a standard.  500 will be at the far end of my limits.  and it will take me a lot of time to get there.
