[QUOTE="dancrockett, post: 746751, member: 61736"] I am in the same boat as you, but from what i have been able to glean from the various sites is that you need a 20 MOA base if you want to shoot long range, 600-800yds. and more, because most scopes run out of elevation before you see the target. I think you need to get the elevation specs for the scope you want, then get the ballistics for the caliber you are shooting. from what i understand most bullets drop more than what most scopes can adjust to at long range and a 20 moa base gets you back in the ball park. Now this comes from someone who has never shot a rifle so take it for what it's worth! [/QUOTE]
