I am looking at getting a new scope and the intended use is it go beyond 1KM. Due to this, I'll likely have to increase the elevation beyond the limits of the scope.

I was looking at putting a 30 MOA base but then I thought, since I'll have to get new scope rings, why not just use the Burris signature scope ring with the inserts.
My question is, is there a difference between adding a 30 MOA base rail vs just the inserts in the scope ring instead? Is there a preferred option to choose one over the other for any reason?

Thank you

The burris signature rings will also let you take out any windage offset due to hole alignment. This is my solution for my 1000 yard fclass rifle with NXS scope that only has 40 moa total. They alo protect the dcope from ring marks
