[QUOTE="FearNoWind, post: 1199770, member: 50867"] 1... does the moa of the base and rings have to match? Except for rings with inserts (e.g. Burris Zee Rings with inserts) there is no MOA variable in the rings. 2. Also what height rings should I get if I want to be able to shoot 100 yards and eventually move out to around 1000? The height of your rings will depend on the size of the bell on your scope and how far out it extends. Select the ring height that bring the center line of the scope as close as possible to the center line of the bore without the bell touching the barrel once the scope is fully mounted. I'd suggest the Burris Zee Rings - makes everything a whole lot simpler. Now - what about the mount? You can select a zero MOA mount or a mount with 10-20-30 MOA built into it. When selecting a mount with attitude (MOA) I usually select the 20 MOA version. But I've recently found that it's less expensive to select a zero MOA mounting rail, install medium height rings and use the Burris interts to get the 20 (+/-) MOA I may need for long distance shooting.
