Scope base question

[Switchbarrel]

You can't get 20moa in rings. If you want to go that route, you will need a one-piece.

Stiller and D&B Supply (www.scopeusout.com) both sell tapered rings, but they are for Davidson rails. Kelbly might too. Ivey used to sell a 150 MOA ring/base combo, don't know if they still do or not (Different one piece combo on their website now).

If you want to use the Picatinny base, the Burris Signature Zee & XTR Signature Zee rings will get you there as well. The XTR's list up to 40 MOA offset when placed at the proper spacing.

Been doing some research, what do y'all think about this set up:

Vortex Viper HS-T 4-16x44
Badger Ordnance 0moa picatinny base
Vortex Precision QR Extended Cantilever 30mm 20moa mount

I don't think you will want an extended mount. Those are better suited for ARs.

See me Remington 700 below...see how the ring on the back is really far back...I'm not 100% sure but an extended mount will likely push your scope too far forward.

Is there a reason you want a one piece? Are you moving your scope around to different rifles?

No reason in particular, but I am currently building an AR10, maybe until I could afford a second scope I could switch back and forth, but that's secondary, but I would appreciate that flexibility.

Regardless, I figured I would try and stick to rings made by the scope manufacturer. And the only 20MOA mount I could find by vortex wss that extended one.

Gotcha. Thank you for the explanation. Badger ordnance, as referenced by you, has that integral recoil lug.

As does TPS.
If you removed the brand names from the rail, you would be hard pressed to tell a badger from a TPS as they are both so nicely made.

That's not a good mount for a bolt gun as it is WAY too tall.
That mount is for an AR.

Get a 20moa base and use TPS low rings for that scope.

That won't work.
The AR mount will be horribly high and put the scope unusably forward on the bolt gun.

What about this mount?

That's a nice setup as long as you are staying with 30mm scopes.

I got the Vortex Viper HS-T 4-16x44 already. It's got a 30mm tube. I guess the question then would be what height? Low, medium, or high?

[jrpowell3]

Except I just noticed that one doesn't have a picatinny rail adapter...back to the drawing board.
Edit: I suppose I could just get the 20 moa base

[jrpowell3]

So, with that cantilever mount, even if I push the rings as far forward as possible on the scope and then place the mount as far back in the picatinny rail as possible, it'll still be too far forward for proper eye relief?

[jrpowell3]

Ok, so with my Vortex Viper HS-T 4-16x44mm scope, what about the following setup

Badger Ordnance 20moa Remington Short Action Base

and
2x Vortex Optics Medium Height Tactical 30mm Scope Rings

Regardless of the length issue, the excessive height is a bigger issue.

That's approaching $200.
