[QUOTE="TAC, post: 170326, member: 9236"] You're going to want a 20 MOA base. You say 500 yards max now, but pretty soon that will become less of a challenge and you'll want to lob a few farther. If you can change your order without much hassle, I would do so. Ken Ferrel bases are well made and are a inexpensive if you shop around. The only issue I've had is that they sit up rather high off your action and with a 40mm objective you have to go with ultra low rings to get the scope reasonably close the the bore. I also have a 20 MOA base from TPS and it sits a lot lower on the action than my Ferrel's do. Now this can also be an issue on a hunting rig because it makes it harder to get rounds fed in from the top, or can impede case extraction (although not likely).
