[QUOTE="Varmint Hunter, post: 2513473, member: 313"] Murphy Precision makes some of the best pic bases I've ever seen and they make them for oddball actions too. I have a few of them and personally settled on their 10moa base for a few rifles. It's a reasonable compromise unless you have a dedicated 1,000yd rifle, IMO anyway. Using a 20moa base on a rifle that is primarily used at less than 400yds makes no sense to me. With a 10moa base most cartridge/scope combos will get you to 1,000yds for an occasional shoot while still leaving your reticle more closely centered for hunting at moderate distances. You also need to carefully choose your ring height when using a pic rail. You will often need a [B]lower[/B] height ring because the pic rail generally provides more lift than traditional bases. I use low and/or medium rings on my pic rails without issue on my 50mm objective scopes. Just my 2 cents [/QUOTE]
