Thread: Zero MOA rail/base - why?

Because some people buy red cars, some even buy Sang Yong! Some people wear jeans and some wear those ugly looking Chico things. Despite all the hype and hoopla we see in shooting forums about twiddling and fiddling with dial scopes, there is a huge section of out shooting fraternity that quite simply buy a rifle, put a scope on it, sight it in and actually go shoot shit. They dont dial, they have no need. So a 0moa base is perfectly adequate for a large number of people.

Firstly, see the premise of the thread is that if one bothers to make a rail, it should be sloped. Many rifles do not come with a rail, People just mount rings and shoot, that is fine. Like you say, simple and straightforward.

Simple and straightforward is not always without problem. See the recent thread about a rifle can not zero, because scope has only 15 moa each way.

Those who end up buying a rail at all already tinker with their rifle.
