Hello everyone,

I am a new member. I just picked up my first savage. Consequently my first long range gun. It is a Savage BA 10 Stealth in 6.5 Creedmoor. I am considering a Burris XTR II 4-20x50mm.

I need some help with the mounting solution.

I am thinking a 20 moa mount would be a wise decision would this still work with shots inside 100 yards as well as obviously the longer shots. I assume so but am not at all familiar with the ballistics of the 6.5.

That said, would 1'' mounts work with this scope / rifle combo or would I need to step up to a 1.5''. How tall is the rail from the top of the barrel? Thanks in advance.
