[QUOTE="Nate Haler, post: 19443, member: 315"] That scope has 70+ MOA of internal elevation. With a flat base, the 100y zero will likely be a bit above halfway, which will leave the shooter something less than 35 MOA of elevation. That's barely enough to get to 1,000y at sea level shooting .308 loads w/SMK 175 going 2,700 fps at the muzzle. If the scope has a mil-dot reticle (I forgot to check that when I searched on the part number), then the shooter can easily adapt the mil-dots for holdover once the elevation runs out. But ideally, to put more shots in the center of the scope's adjustment range, a tapered base would be good. The scope has a 50mm objective, so take that into account when selecting rings. Don't get them too high though, because you want the lowest scope to bore height practical (i.e. that allows lens covers to be installed, but that's about it). [/QUOTE]
