20 MOA base allows for more internal elevation adjustment in your scope in long range shooting... Plenty of information on the net covering what it all means, I would suggest reading as much as you can.

MOA = minute of angle. It's 1/60th of one degree of angle. In target shooting terms it is approximately 1inch at 100 yards.

A 20 MOA base (or whatever number you might want to use) mounts the scope with the point of impact 20 minutes higher than "standard" bases and is typically used for long range shooting.
