[QUOTE="RobertB, post: 887146, member: 54582"] A canted base is not nessesary for short range stuff. I have a few zero can't bases that I can still dial to 1000 with. With a 308 or such I always go with a 20 moa rail. Ir all depends on the scope and caliber. One way tomlook at it is if you had a zero can't base and you were zeroed at 100 yards and intend to dial for longer shots. Say you have 15 moa left to come up but 40 on the bottom that's wasted. If you had a 20 moa base technically you should now have 35 to go up and only 20 that's wasted. With a scope bottomed out you can't adjust wind as easy if your in the middle with room to spare. I've seen a few guns have trouble with 0 can't bases jit every one I saw with troubles had cheap bases and rings. My savage 308 couldn't be zeroed closer than 400 yards. We had to shim it. Then with the same gun I got some night force bases, rings, and scope and with no shims I can dial out past 1k so in only reccomend getting quality bases and rings. Good luck [/QUOTE]
