Thread: Zero MOA rail/base - why?

Zero angle bases are easier and cheaper to make. Most centrefire rifles are never used beyond 300 metres and .22's beyond 100 metres so there is absolutely no point in fitting an angled base as those ranges are well within the adjustment range of all 'scopes. In the past I have made adjustable elevation bases for special applications but they were very few. Long-range shooting is really the only use for angled bases. Plain and simple works for professionals and bling sells well to the amateurs, a rule of thumb that applies to all technology-based endeavours.
