[QUOTE="Buck Fever, post: 1865666, member: 113501"] A sloped base or Burris Signature rings with offset inserts is the way you maximize drop in your scope. For example if a scope says 60 MOA total elevation travel, you have roughly +/-30 MOA from center so if your base has a 20 MOA slope you will shift that to roughly +50/-10 MOA. If you try a 30 MOA slope rail you might have trouble getting to zero so more slope might not be better. Don't cut it too close unless you can correct issues with angle bedding. [/QUOTE]
