My suggestion is get either a one piece ring set like the NF or Gamereaper or even better try just rings like the Burris Zees. Do you know you need 20MOA?
Better?
From reading 20MOA will be needed to get out to 1000 with the Vortex PST I'm mounting, however I do admit my knowledge is google powered only and only going with advice on might as well get 20moa than not. The action is a howa so I'm pretty sure the NF option is out, I have not considered the Gamereaper or burris. Weight is not really too much of an issue. Much better thank you
ERA Racknagel do a nice 20 MOA rail for a Howa.Quote:

If you want to shoot that far, get the 20 moa rail.Quote:

I took the POS (recommended by another well know "expert") 0 rail off threw it away & put a 20moa rail on, sorted :)
Rail plus low 34mm rings on Sako 85 is same height + same amount of extra screws as factory 34mm optilocks. but canted 20moa and also 50 grams lighter and also not made of steel to rust. Rails are ok. Direct mount would be better if it's an option.
