[QUOTE="BergerBoy, post: 1121208, member: 85712"] And if you don't mind, please allow me to steer you a bit with rifle scopes breaking down. When you are utilizing a sloped picatinny rail, lets say 20 moa, you do not want to store your scope for long periods of time with the the reticle set at zero. This places pressure on the springs which will fatigue them over time. I remove the pressure from off of the springs by taking the 20 moa out of the adjustment, returning the erector tube to its center.[/QUOTE] Thank you and that is a good point. As I understand it, the best image you will get from your scope is when it is set at 0 or directly in the middle of your elevation and windage. I was always cautioned by coworkers and friends not to use a 40 MOA rail bc the quality of the image will degrade..... makes sense to me but I don't think I am that good to have it effect me one way or the other. Thanks [/QUOTE]
