i checked your scope and it has 75moa travel so a 0moa is all you need for your distances, but if you plan to stretch it out further for fun say past 800yds then use the 20moa but watch some savage rifles have had issues with zeroing at 100yds with 20moa bases.

I use 40MoA and 50MoA bases for 2000 metre shooting from MDT.
I prefer steel rails, but these had zero waiting times. Shipped same day.

Cheers.

As others have said, out to 500-600 yards a zero MOA base will work fine for you.

But once you do start shooting 600 yards regularly, you'll want to go further.

I run EGW one piece 20 MOA bases on all my Savage rifles.
Their bases are kinda tall but that allows me to use low rings for all my scopes up through a 60mm objective.

Better to have it (20] than not.

This! I learned this from an optics SME. Some of you might know him.

You behave yourself!

20MOA. Moves the reticle more optically centered.

I prefer to have a 20 moa, not that it's needed but I like to have my scope on the lower end of the total travel and it will usually keep the scope objective lens closer to the barrel (slightly). If you haven't picked a rail yet, check out the SRS rails....just picked up one for a savage and they are nice! They have both 0 and 20moa. Seems perfect for an ultra light.

Thank you for your reply! Those rails are actually the ones that I am looking at getting for my Savage, LOL!! Glad to hear someone else thinks that they are well made as well! Thanks again!!

I would rather have it and not need it, than need it and not have it........Never seen a quality rifle with a 20moa base not be able to get a 100yrd zero.
