[QUOTE="azsugarbear, post: 1136643, member: 4809"] A Nightforce NXS has 100 MOA total travel (50 up and 50 down). However you cannot rely on that when mounting your scope. Not all mounts/receivers are exactly level. So I usually deduct about 5 moa from the amount available, which would give you about 45 moa of dial up. Consulting a ballistics app: shooting a 250 gr. Berger hunting bullet at 3,000 fps at 4,500 elevation; 45 moa should get you out to about 1600 yds. Adding a 20 moa rail/base will add roughly another 400 yds - or out to 2,000 yds. Also: don't forget that you have another 20 moa of 'holdover' in your scope reticle as well. [/QUOTE]
