I prefer to set mine up with a 20 moa one piece base. Your way will work just fine if you're scope has plenty of elevation travel.
new here and a new rifle!

Welcome, jump in, the water's fine.
You'll have a lot of fun with that little 6.5 once you find a good load for it.
I'm more amazed every day with the Utility and Killing power of the 6.5's.

No but I"ve had a couple of them and still have one of the Mark IV's in 6.5-20x50's.
I'm slowly replacing my existing scopes with VX6's in either 3-18x50 or 4-24x52's.

Oh I understand that. If you're looking and want to stay with Leupold do what I do and try to find them used here in the classifieds or on Ebay. Doesn't matter if you get one that's got a problem because the warranty is on the scope and lasts a lifetime.
Another good option that's much cheaper is the VX3I series. The 4.5-14x50 is a great scope for the money.
The Zeiss Conquest HD line is well worth a look too as are the Trijicon Accupoint TR23 5-20x50.
I have several of the Trijicon's riding AR's and Dangerous Game rifles and have been extremely pleased with them. I have one of the TR23's on my 6.5LRM and it's fantastic for low light predator and hog hunting.
If you look you can find them new at or right around 1,000.00 and used for around 700.00.
