I'm thinking Seekins 34mm Mediums for rings. The rifle already has a M24 mil spec rail and I'm pretty sure there is no cant to it. Generally what would be my max range with this scope on a 0 moa rail?
Thanks. </div></div>
Since I have seen you ask in 2 different spots, I will answer.
Easy answer: Badger 20 MOA base and med rings will make you happy as a can be. Why get a 0 MOA base when you can get 20 MOA more for free (same price)? You will never regret having too much elevation, and with the HDMR, you will have plenty of elevation to reach anywhere. I still have not heard one good reason to not get an elevated base. After a 20 MOA base, you should have approx 15 - 20 mils up left over and 5- 10 mils wasted down elev.

Actually, that is where I ended up with a 30 MOA base, 12 Mils of wasted down elevation and 22 Mils of up elevation. I think in my case a 45 MOA base would be better. I'd get another 4 Mils of usable.
I'm very happy with my scope so far. Taking it to TVP this weekend to give it a real workout. </div></div>
After getting mine mounted up with a 20MOA base, I have 24mil up and 9 mil wasted down. Crazy they so close. Different actions I spose.
Also crazy they advertised 26mil travel, and we both have around 34mils
Good luck trying it out, I love mine so far.
