As far as I know, the biggest/only benefit of a 20moa rail is for long range shooting. Maybe I'm wrong.

For a more budget friendly set of rings, I like the Burris XTR rings.

I've got several EGW picattiny rails.

I'd do a 0moa EGW rail and a set of those low Burris rings if it was me.

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield

Agreed,i was looking at simplicity,if its not gonna be used long range a 1 piece 0 moa pic rail is still a very good ring base.
