[QUOTE="Gone Ballistic, post: 1923409, member: 26477"] It totally depends on how many minutes of angle your scope has in elevation adjustment and how far you want to shoot. Most good scopes that are adequate for long range shooting have a minimum of 80 minutes of angle with some over 120 minutes of angle. A 20 or 40 minute of angle base mount keeps your scope from topping out at 1000 yard targets as it gives you more elevation availability. You most likely don't need a 20 MOA base mount if you are only shooting 500 yards or less. But, if you intend to shoot longer yardage, you should probably mount one on your rifle. [/QUOTE]
