[QUOTE="green 788, post: 708582, member: 3781"] I put Ken Farrel's 40 MOA base on my 110 BA... and I love it. I didn't much care for the Buzz Lightyear factory rail either... rough on the hands, and unnecessary dead weight. And I couldn't dial out to a mile with only 20 MOA... [url]http://www.longrangehunting.com/forums/f18/installed-farrel-40-moa-base-my-110ba-91664/[/url] One advantage to going higher up in slant is with some scopes, you can't accidentally dial a revolution too low, and get lost as to where your 100 yard zero is. (But with the scope you're considering, with 125 MOA of travel, it will likely still dial more than a rev below your 100 yard zero)... I have a Leupold Mk4 E/RT (8.5-25x) on my 110BA, and with the 40 MOA Farrel base it will only dial about 2 MOA under my 100 yard zero.

You'll want to go with Lapua brass... and Retumbo has been the best powder in our experience. 89.3 grains of Retumbo with Sierra's 300 grain Matchkings (when you can find them!) is an amazing combo... try it, and you'll likely want no other load. :) Dan [/QUOTE]
