[QUOTE="mdslammer, post: 716866, member: 25638"] Hi Rem700addict. Thanks for viewing and the kind words. 1 out of 30 at 2300 yds. was'nt too good and I have hopes of improving the next time out. But, at least I didn't get skunked and I will say it's quite a distance, but challenging. I look forward to the next time. As far as the BA110 goes, I did replace the factory rail that came with the rifle. It had a 20 MOA cant. With my NF scope, I was maxing out at 76.5 elevation and was having to use my reticle hold overs when shooting past 1 mile. So I did a little research and found some really nice rails made by Murphy Precision. They have scope bases for a lot of different rifles, one being my BA110. [URL="http://www.murphyprecision.com/"]MurphyPrecision.com - Scope Bases, Rings, and Assorted Shooting Accessories.[/URL] I chose a titanium base that had a 40 MOA cant. A bit pricey but I gotta tell you not only is their craftsmanship beautiful, it matches my rifle perfectly. And with the added cant I got back 17 MOA on my scope giving me 93.5 MOA elevation now. When shooting at 2300 yds. I was having to use 3-3.5 MOA holdovers on the reticle. If this continues, I may look into a set of Ivey rings which have a 0-150 cant built in. But at $525.00 a pair I have to ask myself, do I really need that much elevation. At least there's another option if needed. [URL="http://www.iveyshooting.com/index.php?page=shop.browse&category_id=3&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=1&vmcchk=1&Itemid=1"]Scope Rings[/URL] I'm now to the point where I'm starting to consider replacing my barrel/brake. I'm close to 1,000 rounds down the pipe and was told the barrel life is around 1,500 or so. I'm considering either a 30" or 31" barrel if and when I do replace it. The extra 4" or 5" will help get me a bit more distance more accurately I believe. But for now, my BA110 is cool. I really dig the .338 caliber though and I've just starting on my load development which is another amazing subject. All in all, shooting at these distances is really a challenge and I'm very lucky to live in an area that provides me an opportunity to do so. Best. Mark "Shoot Straight & Be Safe" [/QUOTE]
