My set up Vanguard synthetic 223 with:

EGW 1-Piece Picatinny-Style Base Howa, Weatherby Vanguard Matte Short Action (http://www.midwayusa.com/viewProduct/?productNumber=147936) http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c389/ariana_1105/Shooting/EGW1piecerail.jpg or EGW 1-Piece Picatinny-Style 20 MOA Elevated Base Howa, Weatherby Vanguard Matte Short Action (http://www.midwayusa.com/viewProduct/?productNumber=341815) http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c389/ariana_1105/Shooting/EGW1piecerail20MOA.jpg Do I really need the 20 MOA and how much of a difference is really going to make? I'm not a hunter, I can't really shot more than 250 to 300 yards because down here in South Florida there is really no where that I can shoot longer than that. Maybe in the future if my buddy buys the 20 acres his got in the works |

Keep an eye on that Mueller scope. I have one that had to be returned because of a soft tube and no tolerance for recoil. Recoil won't be an issue with .223. Be very mindful of how tight you crank on the rings. Mueller recommended using Burris Zee Signature rings. |

The scope has a 1 inch radius (44mm objective) and the rings have a length of 1 inch from bottom of base of bottom of ring so my clearence in the bottom of the objective and top of barrel is only the height of the base +/- .25". The medium rings were sold out and I really wanted to shoot this weeken. I'll order the medium ones but I really hate squeazing my check unto the buttstock. http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c389/ariana_1105/Shooting/scopemeasurements.png |
