When 6mm ARC first came out, I built an 18” gas gun off of a BA barrel and what I had in my parts bin.
Fell in love with the cartridge, and now finishing a nicer 20” build around a TBox barrel.
Original build is really only used for 2-300yds so I went with some standard scope rings with a Bushnell LRTS 18x. Plenty of travel for what it’s used for mostly.
I plan to take this new one into a more dedicated long range gun and have a Bushnell XRS2 to put on top.
I’m looking for some real world experience to help me with a scope base.
For my long range bolt guns I use 20moa bases, but 6mm ARC is super flat. I’d still like to be able to shoot 100-250yds on occasion (I have two ranges that I go to…a 250yd that’s close, and a 1000 yard+ that is a longer drive so less frequent).
Trying to take advantage of some Black Friday deals to get an ARC mount but wanted to validate my thinking on getting a 0moa/10moa/20moa base, based on what I’d like to do (more purpose built 800-1000 rifle that can still shoot 100-250 when I can’t get to the big range).
My thought is 20moa, but want to make sure I’m thinking correctly.
