❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What MOA base should I use for long-range shooting?
A: A 20 MOA or 40 MOA base adds elevation to your optic’s travel—ideal for engaging targets beyond 300–600 yards.
Q: Will these bases fit both short and long action Ruger American rifles?
A: Scope bases are action-specific, so make sure you select the correct short or long action version before checkout.
Q: What’s the difference between Picatinny and Weaver bases?
A: Picatinny rails have consistent spacing and fit more accessories. Weaver bases work well but offer less flexibility for repositioning.
Q: Are these compatible with bolt-action .450 Bushmaster?
A: Yes. Ruger American rifles chambered in .450 BM use a long action footprint. We recommend 2-piece Weaver or Warne steel bases for maximum strength.
Q: Do I need Loctite or torque specs for install?
A: We recommend using blue threadlocker and torquing to 20-25 in/lbs for aluminum bases, 25-30 in/lbs for steel bases.
