[QUOTE="xxtavixx, post: 2899888, member: 99828"] Hello all, Hoping for an opinion here. Ive got a set up that i use for units where shots are on the long side, historically ive been displeased with my ballistic turret having elevation stop at 670 yards. I want to practice further, but my range has 600 or 850. The holdover is such that i cannot see the target at 850 with my elevation maxed out. I installed a 20moa base. My scope was originally zero'd at 200 yards using a zero stop, giving me elevation to 670. As i understood the 20moa base, it would point the scope down ward, or raise the barrel relative to scope (depending on your perspective). If you shot a laser, youd adjust by moving the scope 20moa. But if you shot a laser you wouldnt need the 20moa base. Where i am struggling is establishing an understanding of what my new "zero" is based off 20moa base being added. I did talk to someone i considered to be an expert and they advice my new zero would be 400-425 yards as is, i just dont understand how they got to that. I know I can just go shoot, but im now worried that i dont have enough elevation to set a reasonable zero once i realized my scope has less elevation than i expected, 55 clicks at 1/4 moa. Getting to a range with the needed distance is a commitment for me, so i try to set myself up for success before commuting there.
