[QUOTE="Broz, post: 665367, member: 7503"] If your scope does indeed have 70 moa... (check it first) then either mill your existing 20 moa base to a 40 or 50 moa. Or shim and bed it to what you need for dial up. You might end up with a 500 yard zero but who cares for this project. You are simply testing. But I truely feel you could be setting yourself up for some lost accuracy. There is a reason we use the expensive bases and rings and I have proven them to be a worthwhile expense. So, please keep this in mind. You will get better accuracy if you get better mounts and a scope later. Also watch if you max the scope all the way out. In some scopes this can cause it to not come back to the zero. Also some less expensive scopes dont track true at the last few moa. I try to avoid using the last moa or two. Jeff [/QUOTE]
