I did not buy the zee rings for purpose of increasing MOA, just to help offset any initial alignment problems without using scope turrets and going with the theory that any small misalignment of rings would be corrected by the self centering action of inserts and would prevent damaging tube.
Question on 20 moa base; can it be installed backwards? If I'm shooting high now, wouldnt this make it worse or is the train of thought that the new base will put POI back in center?
The bases were free with rifle(gun shop bonus) so buying a new base is not a problem. I just want this thing right with no worries later. If different rings and base combo is better, still ok with that.
