[QUOTE="LaHunter, post: 1477099, member: 54963"] Not all '1 piece' bases are the same. Since you say your rifle is a 338 UM used for long range, a quality picatinny rail base is best / most stable. I use a steel Leupold Mark 4 base and steel Mark 4 rings. This mounting system is a bit heavy, but solid as a rock. There are several quality options. Many use aluminum rail type bases with good results. The dovetail type mounting systems MAY work fine, but I am assuming that 338 has a pretty significant recoil. Also, the overwhelming majority of long range hunters / competition shooters are using picatinny type rail bases for a reason. The ballistics, vertical adjustment range of your scope, and ranges you will be shooting will dictate whether or not if you will need to have a rail with built in MOA. I don't think there is any disadvantage to having a base with something like 15 or 20 moa built in. [/QUOTE]
