20moa cantilever base for 30mm tube?

[jrf]

Have a RRA Varmint upper on it's way along with a Vortex Viper 4-16 with 30mm tube. I have a cantilever M223 base with my Nikon M223 scope that I like and "assume" I will like the additional 20moa with the new setup. Does anyone know who makes these other than American Defense? I don't need a QD base.

Basically looking for this: American Defense Recon Mount

Without the price tag since I don't need QD.

Anyone else have this scope on a flattop? What rings/base did you use?

Thanks!

Have you looked at Primary Arms mounts?

I did, great prices but no 20 moa mounts. Or at least none of them said that in the description.

Taken directly from the Vortex Viper PST instructions:

"Note: If shooting at distances in excess of 800 yards with 4–16x50 or 6–24x50 models, Vortex Optics recommends use of a 20 MOA
canted Picatinny rail or 30mm rings with adjustable offsets. These can be purchased through companies such as Badger Ordnance,
Barrett Mfg., EGW, Burris, and others."

I'm leaning toward an aadmount right now. Only negative is that it's heavy. But the rest of the rifle is going to be heavy.

Also Larue makes a 10 moa mount and Nightforce makes a 20 moa mount along with Nikon obviously. Nikon's only come in 1" from what I can tell.

Since you don't need QD, you could get a Badger Ordnance 22 MOA AR riser rail, then use regular 30 mm rings. I do this on my .308 AR and AR-15 and it works great.

I have a Nightforce Unimount. 20 MOA, comes in 1.125" and 1.375" heights. It's made of 7075-T6, with grade 5 titanium (ie 6AL-4V) crossbolts, jaws, an crossbolt nuts. I'm going to use this with a Viper PST 4-16x.

Not sure you can buy those without buying a GAP-10. But you might...

Why would you need a 20 MAO base for a .223 / 5.56 ?
Really, you aren't going to be knocking targets at 1000 yards with a .223.
A stock 30 mm tube should have plenty of elevation adjustment to get the .223 to its effective range limit.
PLUS your new scope is 16 power max. 20 MOA bases are more for shooting 900 + yards with calibers that have effective ranges past that.
I say 'save your money' and spend it on an accessory your will get more use out of.
For what my opinion is worth anyway....
