[QUOTE="Snookkatcher, post: 1142489, member: 53775"] Thanks for the shout back guys. I started looking around on other threads RE: Picatinny bases, mainly for a Weatherby Mark V ( .300 Wby.) I have, and found EGW had what I was looking for. When I get the 783 I'll get a base for each. I used Leupold std. rings on the Mk. V as it had Leupold bases from the previous owner. I mounted a Leupold VX-R 3-9x40 w/CDS turret on it, and found I had very little elevation adjustment left after zeroing. With a 200 yd. zero I only have about 3 MOA left to come up with. I haven't tried shimming anything, yet. The 20 MOA base would be preferable to me. Unless something goes weird with the scope mounting on the 783, a flat/ 0 MOA base should be fine. I plan to use the 783 as a backup/woods/hog hunting rifle, with no worries of getting it scratched or nasty in the swamp. [/QUOTE]
