[QUOTE="Dr. Vette, post: 602514, member: 22335"] If the rifle gets sighted in and [I]happens to be[/I] right in the middle of the adjustment range, you've got 21.5 inches at 100 yards either way. That gets you to 215 inches at 1000. Now figure out what you need for your rifle and go from there. The easy answer is - get the 20 MOA rail if you're regularly shooting to 800 or 1000 yards. You'll never use the other half of the adjustments if you happen to sight it in at the halfway point (which may or may not happen; my Sendero miraculously did) so why not extend your range and use the 20 MOA? I use Burris Signature rings, and dropped the front of the scope down 20 in the front ring for the same effect once I found that the 0 inserts had me in the middle. There are calculators on how much a 20MOA base extends your range, but it depends on many factors such as the distance between your rings, etc. The Rapid Z doesn't care what you use to mount the scope. You can use cardboard and duct tape if you wish. :D Once your zero is set, you're good to go. It does care, however, what POWER you have the scope set on when you're shooting. The 50mm will only be "better" as it pertains to this discussion if it has more than the 168 clicks. I suspect it doesn't. However, I put the same scope in 50mm on my Sendero because a few ounces doesn't matter, while my carry rifle got the 44mm objective. [/QUOTE]
