[QUOTE="Nate Haler, post: 42588, member: 315"] Interesting that a complete revolution on this Nikon would have 6 moa vs. the 'typical' 7.5 moa on other scopes featuring 1/8 adjustments (like Sightron). On the Leupold scopes with 1/4 adjustments, a full revolution equates to 15 moa. Nikon is pretty good about service, they can be reached via 1-800-NikonUS, and they have a repair facility in Torrance, CA which turned around a repair for me in 10 days, including transit time to/from northern CA. Nikon's Monarch scopes are built in a Nikon-owned factory in Thailand, not in Japan as the pre-Monarch scopes were. Just FYI. For those of you not wishing to add a long range base or rings capable of forward tilt (like the Burris Signature type w/offset inserts), you *can* use the mil-dot reticle for pretty effective holdover, provided you know what the spacing equates to. By the way, standard mil-dot spacing is 3.6" at 100y, so it would equate to 3.6 moa at all yardages from center of dot to center of dot. I use a Sightron 1" scope w/mil-dot reticle for long range matches. It runs out of up at 800y, so I use the mil-dot holdover at 900 and 1,000y, and it works fine. Lastly, if you want a reasonably priced 'long range base', although for just a few types of actions, check out the newish Leupold base (one piece, Redfield ring style compatible), which has about 15 moa tilt, for about $20 at dealer cost. Add a set of regular Burris Signature (not Zee type, they are for Weaver style bases) rings with 10 or 20 moa offset, and you got a neat workable setup for less than half of what most one piece bases alone would cost you.
