[QUOTE="wyatt earp, post: 212007, member: 11819"] Ok here’s where I’m at. I took my rifle out yesterday with the Bushnell Elite mounted on a two piece Burris Xtreme mount (zero MOA built in). I sighted it in at 100 yards to see what I would have left over. With a 100 yard zero, this is what I had left over in adjustments: Elevation: 21 MOA up [U]23 MOA down[/U] 44 MOA total Windage: 26 MOA right [U]18 MOA left [/U]44 MOA total So it was 44 MOA of total adjustment. I have called every, which is few and far between, gun shop and range in the area and none of them have a chronograph or access to one. When I run my info thru the ballistics calculator I just put 2600 FPS because that is what is stated on the box of ammo. Black Hills Match, BTHP, FPS: 2600, 175 grain .308, BC: .505. So I ran this thru the ballistics calculator with a 200 yard zero. It returned saying I would need 35 MOA of adjustment to reach 1,000 yards with a 200 yard zero. I really like the scope and am willing to hold under for targets under 200 yards. Is there anyway to have a 200 yard zero with my results from above and have 35-40 MOA of up adjustment left over? What MOA base would this require, if it’s possible? Thanks for the help, Wyatt [/QUOTE]
