[QUOTE="Captainj_rod, post: 1365533, member: 103587"] Hello, I am brand new to this sight/forums and like what I am seeing so far! I am a newbie and have a newbie question. I picked up a Howa 1500 308 with a 24” bull barrel several months ago. I wasn’t looking for one, it just fell in my lap for too good a deal to walk away from. Now, Black Friday got me and I ordered a MDT LSS-XL chassis for it. I am going to rob a Vortex HS-T 4-16 MOA off another rifle to get things rolling. But I’m not sure what scope base to order. I don’t see myself hunting past 600 yards, after diligent practice, but this will be my first experience in trying to go long range and I do have a 1000 yard range close by. I also have the big Arizona desert to play in. If it was going to be strictly a 600 hard gun I know a 0moa base would be good, but do I need to go to a 20moa base to make 1000 yards? And do I compromise anything at short ranges with a 20moa base? In theory, the 20moa base just allows for more elevation out of my scopes turret, correct? Thanks in advance! [/QUOTE]
