[QUOTE="Garycrow, post: 1353906, member: 30743"] Leave the rail off and use the talley lightweights. You don't need a rail for those distances and using one will have your erector off center by 20 moa to get it zeroed, it's better to have the erector closer to center in my opinion. A rail also partially blocks the ejection port, I like to have better access to it on a hunting rifle for loading and clearing jams, plus it's easier to wrap my hand around the action for carrying. A rail will also elevate your scope more than necessary with a 44 mm objective, the talleys will let you get it closer to the barrel where it should be. You're also not likely to be twisting turrets on that scope so the advantage of the 20 moa base is lost. 20 MOA bases have their place, I use them on rifles meant for 800+ yds with turrets. For the situation you describe you don't want one. [/QUOTE]
