Yes, you need to consider the 20 MOA base. You will suck up around 70 - 80 minutes just to get a 100 yard zero and what is left on your optic won't go very far. My bet is you will suck up 80 minutes and barely have enough left for 600 yards.
Get the 20 MOA base.

Now wait a minute, I've used a Bushnell Elite 3200 10X with 80 MOA of adjustment and no angled base to shoot out to 1000 yards with 2 different 6.5 Grendels. The second one fell short of having enough elevation by 4 MOA. I'm not saying the 20 MOA base is a bad idea, just saying it may not be necessary. BTW both rifles were shooting 24" tubes and handloaded 123 SMKs. One was a Satern barrel and the other a Sabre.
