[QUOTE="7magcreedmoor, post: 976764, member: 48559"] Clovis, I am using Vortex Vipers on several rifles. The latest build, a savage action using a 20 MOA rail, with Burris Zee rings and the offset inserts, ended up zeroed at 100 yards with about 15 MOA left from the bottom of the scope's adjustment range. Vipers have 75 MOA vertical adjustment according to the spec sheet, and all four of mine have about 1.5 more MOA when run from stop to stop. I use the offset inserts for centering the windage primarily, so that my wind zero is as close to the optical center of the scope as possible, with the rest of the offset given to maximizing elevation. I end up with the vertical optical center giving me about a 1200 yard shot, which is probably longer than I'll ever get to use on a hunt. My other rifles don't have MOA angled bases, and zero pretty close to mechanical center. Max elevation on the turret takes me to about 1300 or so, but at the expense of possible optical distortion. I like the 20 MOA base so I can do the longer shots while enjoying the best image quality near the scope's center of adjustment. A little distortion while shooting MPBR probably will not cause me to miss. [/QUOTE]
