[QUOTE="BergerBoy, post: 1016231, member: 85712"] I think that it matters what scope you use more than anything. Obviously some scopes can't use a 40 moa base and some can. In my opinion the extra moa is always a good thing but not really necessary in most cases. Example: I have a NF NXS 5.5-22 on a 20 moa base on Stiller action zeroed at 100 yds. I have 72.75 moa of elevation. At my altitude that puts me over roughly 1800 yds. plus another 20 in the reticle. So do I need a 40 moa base? I know we are always wanting to go farther n farther but that is a long shot by most any standard. Also, the application is important. What type of rifle is it on? If someone buys a Cheytac they most likely bought that to shoot over 1800 yds so I would put as steep of a base that the scope could safely handle. Lastly, I know a lot of guys shoot 2000 with my scope but at a mile things are really small to me even at 22x. In most top of the line scopes I feel that the elevation exceeds the magnification of the scope- what can you see clearly. That is just my opinion and experience. There are A LOT of guys that shoot farther and are better than I am on here. Good Luck [/QUOTE]
