    Scope base: 20* or not?


    I am buying a one piece scope base for my Savage heavy barrel .223 1/9" twist with Sightron II Big Sky 6-24x. I have a 100 to 1000 yard range to shoot at. Is there any reason why i shouldn't go with a 20* base over a 0* base. Thinking better to have and not need.

    I think no matter how you do it you will need the extra 20moa either with a 20moa base or sig z rings. that scope only has 60 minutes of adjustment and you will need around 30 minutes to go from 100 yard zero to 1000 yard zero.

    I will be using the Burris signature Zrings anyway as I really like them. I think I will go with a 20* base and signature Z rings.

    I have put one on a 20moa on a 300.WM and could not get back to 100 yards or even 200yds
