[QUOTE="marksman1941, post: 2899978, member: 68542"] Edit - I meant to reply to the post above this but can’t figure out how to change which quote is in here 20 moa is 20 moa no matter how you get it. A canted base, shimmed rings, a turret or a reticle offering a 20 moa adjustment will all move POI to the same place (within reason). A 20 moa base is equal to adjusting your turret up 20 moa. I have a rem 700 in .308 with a vortex strikefire 5-25 on it. That scope has 110 moa of vertical adjustment. When I set up my optic with a standard rail and rings, my 100yd zero was roughly in the middle of the adjustment range. That didn’t give me enough turret to shoot as far as I wanted. So I put on a 20 moa base and Burris XTR rings which are shimmed and added 40 more moa for 60 moa total adjustment just in rings and base. After that install, I had to screw my turret down 60 moa, to nearly the very bottom of the scopes adjustment range (about 3 moa off the bottom) in order to zero at 100 yards. And that gave me 117 moa of vertical adjustment to use when playing range games. [/QUOTE]
