I am wondering where I could find a 30 or 40 MOA base for my savage long action (round rear)? I do not want to get the adjustable rings, and I need more elevation then I currently have with my 20 MOA base. Thanks

why not a 20 MOA base and the burris signature zee rings? just wondering
I guess I am just not too excited about those style of rings....I know that they work fine for a lot of people but I would rather have the elevation in the base and be able to use standard rings. Anyways, just trying to locate one of these bases. I thought that ken farrell made them but I can't seem to find them for sale anywhere.
you wont find a tapered base for "standard" rings anyway. for weaver style and picitiny style yes. never had a problem with the signature zee rings myself. I feel they grip the scope better than a metal ring also. good luck
I had an elevation problem at long range with my 0 MOA EGW base. Weaver windage adjustable rings and my Viper scope. I switched over to a 20 MOA base and the Signature Zee rings using the +10 and -10 inserts. I've got more than enough elevation at long range now.
Okay just to clear things up, I currently have Burris XTR rings and an EGW 20 moa base. What I would like to do is just swap out the base and keep my rings. Apparently no one makes a base with more taper for the savage LA?
call egw. they may have something non catalog.
somewhere I seen a sliding adj MOA base. I forget where.
found it http://www.kenfarrell.com/

Thanks! That Ken Farrell 30 MOA base looks good!
Kenny;
Just out of curiosity, how far are you shooting that 20moa isn't enough?
Well I am putting together a 7 Saum, and I honestly have never shot past 800 (never had a true long range rifle before), but I would like to see what this gun will do past 1000, and eventually to 1500 or however far we can lob those bullets out there. :) I just hunt and shoot for fun with friends, no formal competition, but I don't want to be limited by my scope adjustment, so I figured if I could get it set up the way I want it now, I wouldn't have to change anything out later.
What scope? Do you hope to be able to zero at 100yds when you're done?
Sightron SIII 6-24x50. They have 100 MOA of travel. I should be able to zero at 100 but I like to zero at 250 for max point blank range.
dnz has a 30moa base,ring mount for a 1 inch scope but im not for sure about for a 30mm scope?
Did you ever find anything? I'm in the same boat, looking for a 30MOA base, preferrable in silver as I'm using it on a SS 7mmRM. I'm going to see if EGW has anything. It's nice to get the full range of the scope, if needed. my scope is +/-35MOA, so the optimal would be a 30MOA base. I'm planning on getting a longer barrel and a can on the gun, so I can easily get supersonic out to 1800 yds and will need the extra adjustment for desert shooting.Quote:

Did you find anything other than the Ken Farrel? They are a little more pricey than I wanted.
Thanks!

I may be wrong, but I think leatherwood makes one.
You want something non-standard, you're going to have to pay to play. You could always shim and bed a 20MOA base to get more elevation. I would seriously consider getting a scope better suited to shooting at the range you seem interested in. 70 MOA isn't much adjustment range at all and I wouldn't go more than 20-25 MOA on a base with that amount of adjustment unless you are willing to give up the possibility of zeroing inside of 250+ yds.Quote:

Actually, 250-300yd zero would be ideal for my 7mmRM. This would provide approximately a +/-3 in maximum and minimum deviation from LOS out to around 300yds. That's good for direct hold-on for deer hunting out to 300 yds, anyway.Quote:

I agree, 70moa elevation/windage range isn't ideal, but I don't have the cash for a NightForce these days. :'(
If each ring were off by 0.002" (standard machining tolerance) and the rings were mounted 6" apart on the rail, that is 4 MOA. If the rings are closer together than number gets bigger. That assumes that the base and receiver are "perfect" and the barrel shoots perfectly straight.Quote:

J,
The Ken Farrell is the only one that I found, and I looked quite a bit. I think you could also have a custom one made, but I doubt it would be any cheaper.....if you come up with something else, let me know!
EGW told me they would do a custom base for an additional $20 on base price. Not too bad. That would bring the price to $59.99 for their standard base and $89.99 for their HD base (heavy duty). They said it would take a few weeks to customize, so I just bought a 20moa base as that will take me out to 1200+yd. I can buy something else down the road.Quote:

Murphy Precision will make a base with whatever moa you want at no extra charge I got a 30moa for a 110 ba plus it is stainless steel.
what is the cost for this if you don't mind me asking?
$125 + $5-6 for shipping good guys to deal with had it built and to me in alittle over a week. http://www.murphyprecision.com/Products/Item/1006
Just shim your 20 MOA base. Use soda can aluminum or buy some shims from Midway or Sinclair.
Shim between the rear of the base and the action until you get the ideal 100 yard zero with your elevation knob turned down to where you want it, glass bed it front and rear. Voila, custom slope.
Do NOT shim inside the rings.
good to know.... ive been getting into 1 mile shooting, and just picked up a vortex razor...Quote:
