[QUOTE="paphil, post: 512115, member: 17745"] The rail raises the back of the scope . This is done to use more of the elevation that is available in your scope. In theory, when you mount the scope on the rifle, you will be close to the middle of the adjustment range . If the scope has 80 MOA of available adjustment and you are starting in the middle , you have 40 MOA up and 40 MOA down. The 40 Moa down are wasted because you don't adjust down below 0 yards. By elevating the rear of the scope by 20 minutes with a rail, you now have 60 Moa up and are wasting only 20 Moa on the down side. Also this puts you right in the middle of the range when dialed up to 1000 yards . In reality, each gun is different and wil vary quite a bit . Yoy won't know how much your gun and scope will adjust untill you sight in at 100 yards and count how many clicks up adjustment you have . [/QUOTE]
