[QUOTE="Mikecr, post: 533940, member: 1521"] +1 learning And I cannot imagine that a 6.5x284 combined with the two scopes you're looking at would need a 20moa bias. Both of these scopes offer a bunch of adjustment, 26cal bullets are typically high in BC, and there is enough capacity in the 284 case to drive em fast. Also, a biased base forces you to mount a scope higher for objective bell to barrel clearance. You never want to mount a scope on a HUNTING gun higher than needed, because it leads to increasing canting errors. If you go 56mm with the 5.5x22NF you'll already be higher than the 50mm, even without base bias. [/QUOTE]
