[QUOTE="SBruce, post: 449642, member: 21068"] Not to be contrary, but a 20 moa base really isn't necessary if you only intend on shooting to 500 or 600 yds.............but it probably wont hurt, and will give you the extra room later if you want to extend your shooting past that distance. I shoot my 22-250 out to 600 without ever dialing the knobs. I don't have any built in elevation in the base or rings. I sight in 1" high at 200 yds. I then use the moa holdover reticle. It's 1 moa low at 300, 3 moa low at 400, 5 1/2 moa low at 500 and 8 1/2 moa at 600. I hold off for wind and have 10 mph winds memorized. It's then easy to use 1/2 that number for 5 mph........many many coyotes have fell to this combination over the years. [/QUOTE]
