I'm in the process of planning out a 6mmbr build based off of a tikka action. The range where I shoot is only up to 500 yards. I was wondering if a 20 moa rail would be recommended or whether I could stick with a 0 moa rail. I will only be shooting 100 out to 500 yards.

Depends on the elevation range of your scope. Less elevation means you'll need a slanted rail. Enough elevation means you won't. Look at drop charts for the cartridge, and look at the elevation specs on the scopes you want to use. Then youll know. - dan
You should have elevation left over at 500. I don't shoot 6BR but my 6.5 Grendel only needs about 12 MOA to make 500 yards
I can't think of a single scenario where I would pick a 0 MOA scope rail instead of a 20 MOA scope rail, assuming no cost or availability difference. 0 MOA is a pretty terrible idea for a scope rail - it was 50 years ago in the early days of internal adjustment telescopic optics, and it remains so today.
