what moa base

[bear]

Wanting to shoot long range and 970meters+ should I get the 0 moa base from larue or the 20 moa? I was hoping to get whatever scope I get sighted in at 100 and then go from there--- Its a remington 700 aac-sd action….probably going to have a aics 1.5 chassis

With my 20MOA base, I was 2.5-3" high at 100 at the lowest setting my scope had, but that was with a Zeiss 4.5-14x44. Depending on what your scope is, you may get more adjustment.

I have a 20MOA base on my Savage w 6-24 Vortex Viper PST FFP. I can zero at 100 and adjust thru 1000. Remember ring height also plays a factor in your adjustment range (but hurts on canting error), so choose wisely.

To answer your question though... I believe you will need an angled base. I have not seen a scope that has the adjustment to reliably do 1000 without it.

As Lee stated its going to depend on your scope. With a 200 yard zero shooting 168 grain Federal OTM you will need 36MOA to get to 1000 yards.

That's going to be stretching it with most hunting scopes. You are going to need a tactical style scope with more adjustment.

Personally all of my rifles that I even think I might shoot way out there wear 20MOA bases.

It wont hurt to buy the 20 moa. It MAY hurt if you buy the 0 moa. Why take the risk? I think they are the same money too.... Id say the 20 moa, and as mike, i too run a 20 on every rifle i take out far

I have no problem getting 100 yd zero with my 20 MOA base. Figure it's there if I need the range.

[bear]

Scope will at least be 3.5x 21x50 and will be for long range

[jchayes]

20 MOA for sure.

As long as you have a 30mm main tube and 20 MOA base your fine at those ranges.

[bear]

What if it's a 34mm main tube diameter

[trophy8]

Youll be fine. Get the 20. what scope are you getting? from the sounds of it, its a bushnell

[ducks-and-bucks]

You need to figure out your rage of adjustments in the turrets... id guess a 20moa base would be fine though. The bigger scope tube usually the more travel.. it goes hand in hand.

Bushnell, Booooooooooo!

Maybe... It's what hodnett recommends who help design the reticle ... Plus most guys around these parts are shooting it

I was right though

I don't like them and think you can do better for the money.

Most guys around this sight shoot vortex but they suck.... Just being honest. You can do better. If you want it do it. But I honestly am trying to help you here
