Im after some advice on which MOA bases (tapered) I should purchase, I would like the bases I get to have a minimum of 20moa.
I have looked around at the Badger Ordanance and Nightforce ones, is there any others I should be looking at?
Can I get some reccomendations on which to get?
Do they suit most actions?

cheers

The farrell, badger, warne and nightforce are great items. I've used all but the nightforce myself, but have heard great things about them from the friends. My favorite has to be badger, but Leupold makes a 20 moa base that has worked flawlessly on my .223 for little money. I know what your thinking, a 20 moa rail for a .223? 1-1/4 barrel with 1/7 twist for the big, long bullets that will kill pdogs at hopefully 1000y. I have no experience with near bases. If you want a good 20 Moa base as cheaply as possible- go with the leupold for a permanant mount, or the Warne for a lightweight interchangeable mount(eg. Night vision/thermal/starlight).

Richard Near is very good to do business with and his bases and rings are excellent. I really like mine!

I have a Holland one piece 20 MOA tapered scope mount. It is NOT a traditional one piece base with rings mounted on top. It is a one piece mount where the base and lower half of the rings are machined from a single piece of alluminum.(no lapping or aligning needed) It has steel caps that go over the scope to hold it. If you go here and click on "Remington 700" on the left side of the page and scroll down you will see his two piece mounts. These alluminum mounts are light and bombproof. I have them on a .308 but I would stick them on any caliber gun you can shoot from your shoulder.
