Do I need 20 MOA rail?
I am buying a Tikka T3 varmint 223 and looking to shoot in 500-700 yd range:-) Wi
l need a 10 or 20 moa correction. Planning to use 75-80 gr bullets -

Without looking into the external ballistic characteristic of what you're using, I would say get the 20 moa base. It won't hurt anything and will allow you to use more vertical adjustment out of your scope.
What kind of scope are you going to use?
-
It will either be a Vortex Viper PST SFP 6 x 24 or a Leupold VX II 6 x 18. At least that is what I'm thinking now. I already have the Vortex.

Go with the 20 MOA rail.

Thanks

No you don't need it. Your Vortex should have enough correction for those distances.

Well I already have the 20 MOA mounted and wouldn't probably do it again. I think I would instead do a zero rail and do +10 through Burris Zee Rings and that way I could easily switch to another rifle. Thanks for your input, I think you are right but on another Tikka I don't even shoot that far and it gets close but then the scope only has 40 MOA

I have a 20MOA arail on my T3 223 and my 7rem mag. I am able to still get a 100 yard zero, so now I can as far as I want without running out of adjustment on the scope.

Watch this video about 20 MOA bases

Thanks! watched the video but did the 20 MOA anyway and although I haven't shot it at long ranges yet, I believe I definitely made the right decision. Am going to do the same with my T3 Lite in 223.
