[QUOTE="4xforfun, post: 238069, member: 9172"] First off.....big difference between bullet drop and bullet path! Example: berger 180 vld @ 3000fps (1300 ft @ 30degrees) 100 yard zero Bullet Drop.......274 inches at 1K. Bullet path......237 inches at 1K. You will need to adjust 23 3/4 min to go from 100 to 1000, NOT 27 1/2 min Big , Big difference. As for your question...you will have no problem with standard ring/base setup if you use a Leupod or Nightforce. This I know. If you are using another brand, check the adjustment range of those scopes before you buy. Also, don't automaticaly assume that your scope will be at the middle of its adjustment range when it is zeroed at 100 yards. I have seen many times the need for the scope to be cranked to near the end of its adjustment range just to get on at 100. That may not leave you enough adjustment to get to 1K. I would say go wit the 10 MOA setup, but be sure to lap in the rings, or have someone do it for you. Good Luck. [/QUOTE]
