Rifle Scopes Newbie Help

[Bcm86]

So when the Rem 700 sps tac came out about 5 years ago i bought one with Leupold MK4 base and rings and finaly last week just bought the scope for it(I know 5 years). I have other projects so it was the redheaded child in my safe for awhile. Well mounting everythingon it seems great except my base, I do not think it is a 20moa it looks to be perfectly straight from rear to front. Anyway I can tell? I measure front and rear and they seem to be the same height.

Thank You

Re: Newbie Help

The rear base should be noticeably higher than the front. Depending on your plans for the rifle, a flat base might work for you. If not, there are plenty of 20moa bases to chose from.

Re: Newbie Help

Thank you. Leupold cs said both bases have a slight cant built into them...my intentions is a lightweight setup for 100-1k yards so i believe i will need a 20moa base. Scope is mark4 m3, stock willl be hsp pst086 with williams bottom metal

Re: Newbie Help

The Leupold M4 has 1/4 degree built into it, so that equates to 15 moa. The part number is 59235. Midway is usually spot on with their descriptions. http://www.midwayusa.com/product/315661/...rt-action-matte

You can see the elevation in the stock pic. Did you measure with a caliper?
