[QUOTE="Buffalobob, post: 96626, member: 8"] Run the numbers as suggested. You will need about 25-30 MOA to get from 100yds to 1000yds - add a little more for meters. With your scope set for 100 yds zero run your dial up and count how much elevation you have left. If you do not have the required amount plus about 5 MOA safety margin at the top then you will need to shim the scope. With a one piece base it is relatively easy. Just run a "search" on "shim" and "ABINOK". With a two piece base you may need to lap the rings or to go to the burris signatures as suggested. Once you have the scope set you will need to shoot the gun in at every range you expect to shoot adn record the scope setting relative to your 100 yd zero. Ballistic tables are fine for getting you close but not good enough to win matches (or even be competitive). [/QUOTE]
