[QUOTE="m14dan, post: 19440, member: 1607"] I am about to do an order for a customer for a badger ordinance 20 moa forward cant base, 30 mm rings and a Leupold scope. He has a remington .308 heavy barrel varmint rifle. My question is; does he need the forward cant base on the remington with a Leupold #54560? I use a straight base on my M14 and a similar scope and it doesn't quite have the elevation for 1000 yards but my scope is an old simmons that has been good to me and I don't have the heart to retire it. Simmons and leupold are totaly different. Plus he's not gonna be mounted quite as high as mine. My scope and bore are 2.5 inches away center to center. He should be roughly 2 inches. We are planning on the 20 moa base but if anyone has a similar setup with a straight base and can confirm it will work to 1000 yards please let me know. Thanks. Oh he uses 168 and 175 grain bullets and doesn't have any trouble reliably reaching 1000 yards. We're just concerned about the scope base. [ 06-17-2004: Message edited by: m14dan ] [/QUOTE]
