Scope base MOA question

[bhoneill]

Ok guys, just got a Rem 700p LTR and have my rings but still need a base. I am looking at getting something from EGW, but what MOA do I need?

If you are going to shoot any long distance...800 yards or more..20MOA should do you just fine.

I'm assuming a .308 because .308 shooters never specify what caliber their gun is in. Look at your dope for the cartridge you will be shooting, figure out how much elevation travel your scope has and how far you will be shooting out to. Then decide if you have enough internal adjustment or require a 20 MOA base.

Yes, it's .308. Thanks guys, Powder I will figure that out soon.

A 20MOA EGW HD will do the job nicely. Both the standard rails and HD's are excellent for the price.
