[QUOTE="tacomHQ, post: 2545822, member: 67159"] Our elevation adders are described by two concepts: mirror and wedge prisms. The mirror version mount to the scope or to a rail (and are interchangeable for mounts)- actually all of our products are totally interchangeable and can be scope or rail mounted with three screws. The mirror systems can easily go well beyond the prism units. At some point chromatic issues arrive and the prism starts falling out. Also by the time you see the prism limits- you are also most likely seeing your barrel. The mirror system starts 1.3" above your scope centerline, and must be taken into account during a sight in event and in a ballistic computer. The mirrors can go north of 900moa. The enhanced version will go well over 1500moa. You will also see an adjustable unit this summer and it has the ability to change from negative values to over 600moa with a "click" - no tools required. The adjustable unit can be set in 100moa increments, or 50moa, or 10mil - settings are open for 8-points. Extreme long range requires a Delta at some point to look around your barrel. The prism unit is capable of up to 80mil of elevation, though at that point as noted, the barrel will be seen. It is smaller and lighter (lightest version is 6oz) than the Charlie's. It cannot be adjusted vs all of the Charlies can be adjusted by the user with tools and a tall target. One advantage of the prism unit is that it can be "flipped"- turned upside down to subtract the actual set value. Why? Glad you asked. Put your scope on a 100moa rail and you have a 1000yd zero in most cases (example). You put a 100moa prism on upside down and you now have a 100 yd zero. Run the scope through its full elevation (100moa in this example)- pull the Bravo and reset your scope to 0. Now run the scope again through its 100moa of travel. Now add the prism upright and re-zero the scope. Run the scope now a third time through its 100moa travel. With this you have 300moa of travel in one scope. [/QUOTE]
