School me on mounting a scope for LRH set up

[jrebel]

I am setting up a rifle like I have never done before.  In my research, I have noticed scope bases that have 20 moa slants that give you more adjustment in your scope.  I have never used one so as I set up my rifle, I was wondering if it was needed. 

Rifle:  Savage Stealth 6.5 creedmoor (comes with a one piece EGW scope base)
Scope:  Likely a Nightforce SHV 5-20x56. 

Should I upgrade the base to something with a 20 MOA taper?

What rings would you reccomend? 

My hunting range will be limited to 500-600 yards, but it would be fun to shoot beyond that at the range.

Thanks for any input.

If using the SHV and only shooting 5-600 yards I don't think you would need tapered bases, the scope has 80 moa adj.

That was my thought too.....I guess I can always upgrade later if necessary.  Just trying to get it set up right the first go round.  Not very knowledgeable about dialing my scopes as I have always used the hold over method to 400 yards.

I am running the SHV on my 300 WM model 70 and really like it👍

Excellent news.  I am buying mine tomorrow from another member on here.  Super excited to get it mounted and start shooting this beast.

It's worth calling Andy @ hawkins and asking him if he's got the rings for that. His one piece are similar to talley but way overbuilt and come with 25moa cant built in.

He has them for pic mounts too.
