Day / Night Digital Scope 20 MOA base question

Do any of you digital scope experts know if the scopes have the same mounting requirements as normal scopes for long range shooting. Basically, do they need a 20 MOA base for shooting 500-1000 yards or does programming negate that need?
 
I see what you're saying.

I would think if it's a digital optic where you turn the turret like with the Revic or Veracity PH, the 20 moa would contribute to additional travel.

In a scope like the Eliminator where the hold is displayed, it may not matter. I'm not sure if that optic will also allow you to dial.

I ordered an Arken Zulus HD520R. It does display the hold. The US version comes with a 0 MOA base. The UK version comes with a 35 MOA base, which i'm assuming is because it is being used on air rifles there. I guess thats one drawback of "newish" technology. There isn't a ton of data available yet.

Yeh, that's tough to say. Might have to put in a call to Arken.

Honestly the only thing slowing the development of these scopes down is technology limitations from states for hunting usage. I guarantee you there are companies developing this tech for the military. They are going to be far more common going forward.
