I’m looking to mount a new scope on a very light and hard recoiling 06 - wondering what ppls thoughts are on rails vs bases.
I prefer the cleaner look of nominal bases / rings over a picatinny but am wondering on the pros and cons of both? Is one more reliable with harder recoil?
Once the scope is set up - it won’t be moved / removed or bumped forward / back to take advantage of a large Moa rail.
Weight is a factor for me, I’d like to be as light as possible but not to the detriment of performance.
Rings will be 30mm if that is a factor.
It’s a long action and I believe that the ejection port would not be impacted by a full length rail.
Any other considerations?
