Zero or 20 moa rail needed for 6.5 CM

I'm considering getting a 6.5 CM Tikka CTR. It comes with a zero degree rail. I plan on shooting mostly inside of 500 yards at coyotes that randomly appear at various distances. I won't have time to dial distances. I'm wondering if 20 MOA rail is needed with 6.5 at those ranges. I wouldn't bother to ask if the CTR rails weren't notoriously difficult to remove.

If I have to buy and mount 20 degree rail I might I opt for the cheaper Varmint model as there's things I like about that as well.
Thanks
 
Thanks all. I found a T3X Varmint in 6.5 cheaper so I went with that. I'll by a 20 MOA rail for that. I figure it can't hurt to have it if I want to target shoot longer distances. I have probably 800 yards to play with of my back deck.
