Asking Out of Ignorance: Need Help With EGW Mount

[Vartarg]

I bought my first Savage...it's an F Class 6mm BR.....and a one piece EGW 20MOA picatinny mount rail.

There's a high end, and a low end...which goes forward, toward the muzzle?

Thanks

everyone has to learn, I have the same gun and same base, my F class was really loose in the stock if you can take out action bolts and just lift barreled action out thats how mine was but it still shot good, so most all stocks need to be bedded and especially if your going to shoot f class.

That's correct; low end forward.

just so you know why the low end goes forward

on a 20 moa the goal is to have you initial zero in the upper portian of the scope. this allows more room to make the crosshairs to go down causeing the bullet to go up. that way for can dial more "bullet up" to compentate for longer range shots. in a perfect world if your scope has 80 moa of travel with a 0 moa base you would have 40 "bullet up" and 40 bullet down" with a 20 moa base you and the same set up you would have 60 "bullet up" and 20 "bullet down"
