[QUOTE="Shootin4fun, post: 701315, member: 28741"] This is all very enlightening, as I thought that in order to utilize the full range of adjustment of a scope for long range shooting (my scope only adjusts a total of 35 MOA), it would be best to mount it in such a way that a 100 or 200 yard zero would be at a very low elevation setting. On the other hand I was concerned that a 20 MOA rail would raise the scope too much so that I couldn't adjust the reticle down far enough to zero at 200. So I figured that a 0 MOA rail and Burris Zees which allow as little as 10 MOA would be a better option....I guess I bumbled into a good solution. Given that, what would be a good mounting position with respect to the scope reticle setting to zero at 200 if I need to go up 30+ moa to reach 1000 yards? If the reticle is set around 10 MOA for a zero at 200 wouldn't it run out of adjustment to reach 1000? [/QUOTE]
