[QUOTE="fiftybmg, post: 1451618, member: 96316"] Depends on the load trajectory, range, and adjustment capability of the scope. Generate a trajectory table for your load, and see what the drop is at the range you need the scope for. Say your drop is 50 MOA at that range, then you will need a scope with 100 MOA adjustment capability. That means it can track 50 MOA up and 50 MOA down. If you have a 20 MOA rail, then a scope with 60 MOA total adjustment gets you to the same range as a scope with 100 MOA adjustment on a normal rail. [/QUOTE]
