Allright I have my rifle, now I'm going to get a base. The EGW base looks like what I need. Just wondering about a 20moa or flat. I really like the thoughts of being able to reach out further but was thinking how close can you dial in with the 20moa base. I mean can I still hunt squirrels with it. I seldom shoot less than 25 yards. Just a thought, hopefully someone here could shed a little more light on the subject.
 
Re: Savage Mark II which base?

I have a brand new Savage MK II FV with a EGW 20 MOA Base, Barska (read garbage) rings and a Bushnell 3200 Elite scope. I can zero at 50 yards no problem and still have plenty of travel in both directions on elevation.
 
Re: Savage Mark II which base?

I have the 20moa egw base and I can get a 25yards zero and out to 100yards (and more just havn't went out farther). I have a Tasco 6-24X40 Varmit/target scope.

Thanks guys thats the answer I was looking for.
 
Re: Savage Mark II which base?

been shooting 200+ now the egw base, my scope didn't have enough elevation before the base when zeroed at 25 or 50. definately worth it.
 
Re: Savage Mark II which base?

i needed the egw to get a 50 yard zero. It gives me just enough to get out to 200 yards with my scope.
