[QUOTE="greenejc, post: 1689458, member: 60453"] Set in the center at mechanical zero, you should have about 38 to 40 moa of adjustment. That gives you about 400 inches of adjustment for elevation. With a 175 grain Hornaday bullet, you can easily get 3,000 fps at the muzzle from your .280, for a bullet drop of 280 inches or less (depending on how you zero your rifle). You should have plenty of adjustment using standard rings and bases. A 20 moa base would add about 200 inches of adjustment at 1,000 yards, but wouldn't be required. It would give you an edge, though. [/QUOTE]
