Do I need a canted mount?

[cast1]

I am about a day away from taking delivery of my GAP10 in 308. I plan to put a S&B 3-20x50 on it. All my other rifles have canted rails, but the rail on the GAP is flat. Do I want to marry myself the elevation of a canted mount, or should I go flat in case I want to use that scope on another rifle? Also, would you guys consider the 5-25x56 instead of my planned optic?

Thanks,
Brian

I don't know about "need", but I do know S&Bs PM series are designed to be mounted in a 20MOA base for best adjustment range.

I thought the GAP-10 came with a set of rings, that have 20 MOA cant. And yes you should use those.

I may be showing my ignorance here, but I have never seen a set of rings with cant, only bases and 1-piece mounts.

I opted to go with a Larue mount, as the GAP mount was not QD as far as I understood. Canted base it is. How about the scope? I have a 5-25x56 with the p4f and love it. Will I miss that magnification on this rifle?

I believe the GAP-10 comes with a 20 MOA canted one piece Badger mount. Maybe [MENTION=393]A10XRIFLE[/MENTION] could chime in on this one to confirm.
