[QUOTE="FearNoWind, post: 1070261, member: 50867"] I'm not sure if I fully understand what you wrote but I'll give it a try. You have a scope with 19 milrads of adjustment end to end and you have it set at zero for 100 yards with the cross hairs centered in the scope (leaving you with an adjustment of about 9 mils down and 9 mils up). Obviously, you can't get more out a scope than it has in it. Setting your 100 yard zero with the cross hairs centered, leaving 9 mils on each side, amounts to wasting the lower end of your scopes capability. I would never recommend working out at the extreme end of any scope's range of adjustment. But if you'll add a 20 MOA rail to that rifle your horizontal cross hair will be on the lower end of the available adjustment in your scope and you'll find that you'll have the adjustment you need to get it on target at longer distances.
