You fail to mention what the built-in MOA the base rail is. That needs to be taken into consideration when choosing ring mounts.c.edgington wrote:Need some help here on something that I CANNOT figure out. I have purchased a Savage 110 in .338 Lapua which comes with a base already installed. I have also bought a Vortex Viper PST 4-16x50.
I have read as many articles as I can find and can't figure out how to choose what height scope rings I need. I'm going to get Vortex Precision rings, and I need 30mm, but low, medium, high, extra high??... I have NO clue.. Please help lol!
I'm running a Vortex Viper PST FFP 6-24x50 on my setup which has a 20 MOA base rail, and ended up ordering a Cantilevered 30mm Mount w/ 2" offset from Vortex. (Part # CM-202). It currently shows it's on sale for $89.99 (which is what I paid), over their website. Call to make sure it's in stock if you choose to use this mount. No clearance issues for my application.
You also need to consider total MOA once installed, especially if this is for distance shooting to make sure that you have enough MOA over said distance.
