I have always bought Leupold or Redfield bases that have windage adjustment on the base but never used MOA bases what is the advantage of MOA? Is it possible to run out of adjustment? I have seen where some say they use a zero MOA base. I need a base for my 700 ML build. Lou

MOA bases are used for long range shooting. It allows for adjustments of the scope at long ranges where the scope might otherwise run out of adjustment. It also can keep the adjustments at long range to be closer to the center of the adjustment range which allows the scope to optically function to it's potential. If your shooting is mostly going to be at shorter ranges, use a 0 MOA base to keep the scope closer to center on it's adjustments.

Be sure to read the "most helpful negative review". I got one a few years ago with the same "problem". It didn't bother me, as it was getting bedded anyway. I just used a straight edge while tightening screws to make sure to straighten the base, then let the bedding set up.

So if all my shots are under 300 yards would it be safe to say a zero minute of angle will be fine? When hunting I always just estimated the distance and held over with a 100 yard 1" high sight in. Lou
