The only thing it offers is the addition of adjustment in your scope, so you can dial further ranges. instead of landing about 1/2 way through the dial with a regular flat base, you start at an angel, so you have more adjustment left after the fact for dialing.
if your not trying to really reach out and touch something, it is of no benefit.

What are you trying to accomplish? Are you trying to gain MOA?Not really into long range shooting , but thought it would be nice to have the option with new scope base,20 moa based seems like everybody has one,and just wanted to know if they work good long,and short range.

Take a look at this. Pretty detailed information from the Googler. :tup:

That's what I learned. I'll likely never need it.

It's for a rem 700 ,270 caliber.
That I use for mule deer,bear,elk ,when hunting areas that longer shot may happen.or back country hunting.

I went back and reviewed my order ,i think I got t one that has no elevation ,just trying to figure out if I made the right decision.

I would imagine that you can shoot to 500-600 yards without needing a 20moa base. Will you be dialing turrets?

500-600 is about my furthest comfort range , no I try not to mess with my turrets if I don't have too.I went back and reviewed my order ,i think I got t one that has no elevation ,just trying to figure out if I made the right decision.

If you aren't dialing turrets then 20moa bases do nothing for you. The purpose of adjusted MOA bases is to get more MOA adjustment out of your scope when dialing your turrents for elevation.
This. If you're not using turrets, there's literally no point in having the 20moa rail.

If you change your mind later you can just use a set of Burris Signature rings and throw some 10 or 20 MOA shims in there. On a few guns I’ve actually used a 40 MOA base plus 20 MOA inserts in the Burris rings. The problem is then you usually end up zeroed at a pretty ridiculous distance. My 6.5 Badger was zeroed at 650 yards with the elevation bottomed out using a combined 60 MOA in the rings and base. I could dial the Mk4 out to nearly 2300 yards though. :tup:
The most important consideration though is that a 20 MOA base increases your “operator” status buy at least 17%. :chuckle:

I have had 20 moa and 0 moa bases and like rail mounted scopes. It makes switching scopes or moving a scope to a different rifle ease.
Ive never used the extra MOA but i keep telling myself i will some day. :chuckle:

Ya, but that's only if the gun is chambered in a conventional cartridge. The percentage goes up exponentially, if you are using a 20 MOA base on a 6.5 Creedmoor. :tup:

The 6.5 Creedmoor yes, but a 6 Creedmoor is vanilla with sprinkles!

It's a little awkward when the rifle with the surpressor is taller than the driver.😊

6 Creedmoor is the Mazda Miata of modern day rifle cartridges.

If it's on a 6x47 well then your just the man. Not just a man but like a total chest thumping. Me, me, me. It's all about me man. If you haven't heard me say how great of man I am, just ask me and I'll tell you type of man.

You must know Ean Vargas, you just described him perfectly. If I didn't know better I'd think you that you were part of his "Shot Out" movement. :chuckle:
