I have got a few questions about replacing my standard taper rail with a 20moa rail.
My problem: I recently built what i am hoping is a good medium to long range rifle. I started with a BAT 10inch action and 32inch lilja barrel. Rifle is chambered in 338 Lapua Imp. 40deg. I am shooting 300grn SMK at about 2900fps. I ordered a BAT rail for the action and a Nightforce NXS 12x42x56 with the CH-1 reticle. Everything works great except I run out of verticle adjustment at around 960yrds. Would a 20moa rail cure this? Currently I use Sierra Infinity in order to create a chart in order to click for distance. I would like to continue this but am unsure how having an angled rail would work. Any info would be appreciated.
