[QUOTE="Westernhunter6, post: 2512352, member: 89715"] Ok guys, I need your help. Maybe I’m being thick headed, but I am having a hard time deciding if I’m gaining anything by going with a rail with built in moa. My rifle is a Fierce Carbon Edge 7mm rem mag with a 26” barrel. The scope I bought and am going to mount on this rifle is a Leupold VX-5 HD 3-15x44 CDS-ZL2 with the windplex reticle. I plan on ordering a steel picatinny rail from Murphy precision and already have Leupold PRW2 rings I plan on using. This setup is going to be my go to hunting and practice setup. For hunting, I do not plan on shooting past 700yds, but I would like to practice and learn to hit steel consistently out to at least 1000yds. Here’s where I’m stuck. Murphy Precision offers 0, 10, and 20 moa rails. I was planning on getting the 10 moa rail, but got to thinking about what I’m gaining by doing that. If the scope dial (ZL2) only has 2 revolutions of adjustment… am I gaining anything by having moa built into the rail? If this does give me more than 2 revolutions, then am I just counting the clicks to know where I’m at past the 2nd revolution? [/QUOTE]
