[QUOTE="Buffalobob, post: 183022, member: 8"] As a general rule a 30mm tube will have more elevation adjustment than a 1 inch tube. You will need about 30 MOA of up adjustment to get to 1K with a 7 Rem mag. If you use a flat base then this will mean that you will be up close to the top of the adjustment if your receiver is level. Probably the best thing to do is get a Weaver type slotted rail with 20 MOA of cant built in. You can also get Burris Signature rings with the inserts that will allow you to build cant into the scope. You can do both if you wish. Degrease all of the screws and threads carefully before mounting and use the type of Locktite that can be undone incase you get something wrong. If you wish to determine if your receiver is level then take your present scope and count the elevation up that is left from your current zero and then count the elevation down from your current zero. If you are close to being in the middle then your receiver is pretty level. [/QUOTE]
