[QUOTE="Buffalobob, post: 269362, member: 8"] A 308 shooting 175 Federal Gold Medal Match ammo should reach 1000 yards with 40 MOA of elevation. It will stay supersonic to about 1200 yards give or take a little. So with a 20 MOA base you will need a scope with about 50 MOA of vertical adjustment or more. You will not need a brake. A good recoil pad such as a limbsaver will be enough. Harris bipods are pretty much the standard. Get the one with the swivel base and notched legs. For me I am comfortable with about 9 inches so you can get a short one or a medium one. [/QUOTE]
