Rifle Scopes Leupold M3A - scope base ??

[drum13]

Does the 10x40 Leupold M3A require a zero-cant flat scope base? Was told it won't zero at 100 yards with a 20-MOA base due to the scope's built-in cant?

The NSN numbered base from badger that was on the M24 circa early 2000's when I had one was a 0 cant. If you need one I have one that I'm selling.

Sounds like I might need one but its for a shorty .308 (700 LTR)
Don't think it'll fit.

Correct. The M3A needs a zero-cant base. I have one and I learned the hard way with a 20 MOA base.

Thank you - very much.
Saved me lots of time.
On the lookout for a zero-cant base now.
