[QUOTE="Garycrow, post: 1017527, member: 30743"] 20 MOA would probably be best for a .308. The max range you'll get out of it before the bullet goes subsonic is about 1300 yds and 20 MOA will get you to there no problem while preserving your ability to zero the scope at 100 yds. The "best" in mounts is subjective and can get very expensive with some of the high end stuff. I'll tell you what works for me as a very good setup that won't break the bank. A talley 20 MOA rail: [URL='http://www.amazon.com/dp/B004EFROYM/?tag=lrhmag19-20']Amazon.com : Talley Short Action Remington 700 20 MOA Picatinny Base, Black : Sporting Optic Bases : Sports & Outdoors[/url] And Burris XTR tactical rings: [URL='http://www.amazon.com/dp/B001IBMJYA/?tag=lrhmag19-20']Amazon.com : Burris 420160 XTR 30-mm Rings (Low, Black) : Rifle Scopes : Sports & Outdoors[/url] For your vortex viper PST with a 50mm objective the low rings are as high as you'll need. I'm sure others will chime in with their favorites, and there are a bunch of nice combinations depending upon how much you want to spend. The stuff I listed is very strong, well made, and relatively inexpensive without being cheaply made. [/QUOTE]
