[QUOTE="MAD10, post: 1850867, member: 29370"] Yep you are playing the "rings and bases game" it's always a bit annoying. What I have found that works for me is that I order several of each height rings and bases of a given manufacturer I want to go with and I include 20 MOA, 40 MOA cant etc and then simple return what did not work. Yes $300 to $600 worth of rings and bases. As others have posted you are going to want to get that scope as low as you can and as far forward as you can to allow you to really drive the rifle. I often see too many scopes that sit too far back and the shooter is shooting off their back foot so to speak and I am referring to on the bench or from the prone - not from the off hand standing position - sorta like a boxer punching from the back foot instead of the front foot if that makes sense. Ask anyone that mounts a lot of scopes professionally it is a guessing game based on comb height, shooters face dynamics, scope objective, barrel contour even space between scope rings can play a part there is not one universal fit for any rifle.
