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
