[QUOTE="Lenny Foffa, post: 2821483, member: 100742"] I have a 36X Sightron 1 inch tube , on a 20 MOA Leupold rail on my Heavy Savage in .308. Impossible to see clearly at 100 yards. Very Foggy . The problem is that the [B]Scope Elevation is dialed down as low as it can possibly go. [/B] Sent scope back to Sightron and the owner/ president called me and asked why this scope is adjusted down do low, until it cannot go any lower. I said 20 MOA rail. He said please remove that rail and just use regular bases. I am going to take his advice and correct that this summer. My thinking is that to a range 500 / 600 yards, a 20 MOA rail is not necessary, and this 308 is not a 1000 to 1200 yard rifle. My Weatherby Mark V in .270 Weatherby Mag has a 8.5X to 25 X Leupold VX3HD Wind plex. Its on Leupold D D steel bases. ZERO MOA . With a 100 yard Zero, there is plenty of Elevation out to 1100 yards as used at the Bang Steel Shooting school. Not real sure when I would really NEED a 20 MOA rail. ????
