Ok I purchased a scope for my new 6.5x47L on a rem 700 sa.It is a Zeiss HD5 5-25 x50. I was wondering what moa base would I need if any and what one piece base do you all recommend. I will have gun zeroed at 100 yd but hope to shoot out to a 1000 also Any help would be appreciated.
 
Shouldn't have a problem. I've got a scope with 70moa over a 20moa base and it still has plenty of room to run.
 
i got a 20 moa base as well.... was pretty straight didnt need to bed it
 
I run EGW 15moa bases under a couple vortex scopes in warne low rings with no issues, good cheek weld without adding adjustable cheek rests and solid mounting for a fair price..
 
There are plenty of threads discussing various base brands. I feel its more important that you get a good set of rings. If you truely intend to go out to 1000 yds, youre better off with 20moa base.
