I am setting up my new savage 10fp 308 and need a sloped base as I have run out of adjustment at 650 yards. I have a SA GEN 3 6x20x56 and when zeroed at 100 I only have 16moa of adjustment left. I would like to be able to get to 1000 and it appears that a 20 moa base might make it or might not.
I know the SA scopes catch a lot of flak but I have not had an issues with repeatablity, the clarity could be better but I am not shooting comp. That said, 30 clicks at 100 yards moves POI by 8.5 inches so it is not exactly 1/4 moa. With a 100 yard zero my adjustments are as follows:
300-----+3.75 moa
400-----+6.5 moa
500-----+ 9.75 moa
600-----+14.0 moa
700-----+ 16.0 moa and holdover at 1st mil.
Norma brass. 44.5 grains of IMR 4895 and 168 CT Ballistic tips, velocity unknown. ALt 100ftasl, 50 degrees f and no wind. Groups average 1/2 to 3/4 moa at all ranges.
What base do you recommend??? Will 20 moa be enough??
Thanks
