    Going to assume You have the old Redfield style base and rings , two screws hold the ring in the back and the front twists in .

    To get more usable elevation from Your scope You'll need to go to a sytem that has angle built into the base . The easiest way is to go to a picatinny rail base and rings . There are many manufacturers that make this style and they can be had with 0 moa , flat , to 40 ish moa , angled , built in to the base .

    This allows you to zero more towards the bottom of erector travel instead of the middle .

    Depending on what rifle You have will determine availability .

    Remington is the one that has the most options available , Badger , Seekins , Warne are a few . A 20 moa base should be enough .

    EGW makes a good one, so does badger.

    Here is a link to the EGW 20 moa base at Midway.

    I would guess EGW would have one in stock so you might want to try contacting them. Their customer service is great. A lot of people are running these EGW bases with Burris XTR rings with good luck. I run the EGW/Burris set up on my Savage 12 in 223 and I like it.

    All of my Rem 700's are Badger bases with badger rings

    I'm not familiar with EGW. They look like a bargain. I might have to try them on my next rifle.

    I've been using Ken Farrell Mounts on my bolt guns for years and have found them excellent. I use both the Leopold Mk4 and the Burris XTR rings (which ever happens to be cheaper that day - the quality is the same)
