Now i am just a guy that likes to shoot not a pro by no means
i bought a remington 700 in 338 lapua and was wondering what base to put on it am looking at badgers 45 moa i believe or there 20 moa what one would be best. also before u ask the scope i am also looking at is leupolds mark 4 6.5-20x50 with 100 moa of adjustment according to there web site.

I wouldnt bother with a 20 moa base unless you are using the mk4 4.5-14x50 wich is a 100 moa elevation .then zero it at 300 yds.I dont think youll be shooting expensive 338 lm at 100 yds on a regular basis?Get the 40 moa nightforce or badger base 45 moa.
