[QUOTE="wyatt earp, post: 211334, member: 11819"] I found out that the Bushnell has 44 MOA of total adjustment. Hang with me, I'm new at this and I'm probably going to mess this up. Okay, so 44 total translates to 22 up and 22 down. So with 20 MOA base that would put me 2 MOA from the bottom (22-20 = 2). This would leave me with 42 MOA of upward adjustment (44 total - 2 = 42 upward adjustment). Also, if I did the calculations right then my 2600 fps, .505 BC, 175 gr. bullet will drop roughly 154" at 1,000 yards. The scope has 12 MOA per revolution. This translates to me needing to adjust about 3.2 revolutions around. So 3.2 revolutions would equal 38.5 MOA. So if this is correct then 42 MOA of upward adjustment would work. I am not a betting man but if I was I would say some if not all of that is probably wrong. That being said, I need your help. Is there a way to tell without mounting the scope or do I just need to mount the scope and zero it at 100 yards and then see how much adjustment I need to get to 1,000 yards? Thanks for the help so far, and I hope this is not all incorrect. Wyatt [/QUOTE]
