I am new to the long range hunting scene. I just got a steal on a new rifle and scope and am looking to shoot out to 1000 yards. I bought a remington sendero 7mm mag and a leupold vx-3 6.5-20x40 with the 30mm tube. I am shooting the berger VLD 168 grain bullets at 3050 fps. I am planning to have leupold put a turret on it for me and want to know if I will need an angled base to reach 1000 yards with a cds turret? I don't really understand how the moa bases work to get me more clicks but I just need to know how steep of an angle I will need to reach the 1000 yard mark. Not that I will use it a lot in a hunting situation but if it arises I want to be prepared. If someone could help me to understand that would be great. Let me know if there is anything else you need to know to help me out. Thanks
