[QUOTE="Brambles, post: 1179844, member: 11508"] So I mounted my scope on my 280ai, For bases I was concerned about cheek weld which made me concerned about a 20moa base, but also concerned about having enough dial up if I didn't use one... So I dug into my box and found a couple sets of weaver 2 piece flat bases, used low vortex rings and my lowest bases. Cheek weld was pretty good, 20moa base would certainly require some sort of bag or rest. Offhand feels good, prone feels like I might need a bit of a riser...time will tell. I then bore sighted it, centered the dial and checked for how much elevation I had left....4 revolutions exactly which equals 46 minutes...which looks like enough to get over 1300 yards....plenty for a gun that now weighs with the new scope 6 lbs 14oz Sight height ended up at 1.684" [/QUOTE]
