[QUOTE="SCL, post: 17651, member: 1720"] ScO, You are right on the money regarding other ways to get MOA's - however, as with all things in life, they have their pro's and cons. Cistom MOA built bases are available and are reasonably priced, however the scope you then put on it might not have enough downward elevation to give you a 100 yd zero - this might not be a problem for some folks, particularly if its on a rifle for long range paper punching. Personally, I want the ability to zero at 100. Adjsutable rings are another way to go, and offer more flexibility that a fixed MOA mount. Most rings just don't offer enough MOA's compare to the SN9 system. Other limitations are the glass you use on that variable MOA mount - I am not flaming here but Leupold glass doesn't cut it at this application, for my eyes anyway. USO, S&B, NSX glass provides a better picture for my pupils - YMMV. So, once you start adding up the costs of adjustable bases (haven't seen USO, but the ones I have seen for Loopy's were $1K) plus glass - well that's the price of an SN9. If you don't need a bunch (i.e. 200+) of MOA, then the fixed mount paired with an NXS is a great (and far more affordable) combo - 20 MOA or 40 MOA mount with 150 MOA's in the NSX and you have a lot of room to play with - MOA's to cover most shooting situations hunters or tactical competitors would ever need or want. For the ultra long range guys...well you can't be too rich or ever have enough elevation. :-) If only NXS came with FFP reticles. :-( SCL [/QUOTE]
