[QUOTE="scottishkat, post: 1194691, member: 82202"] Tam your choice of scope from my review has 65 moa of elevation adjustment on paper. If you use straight bases you'll be able to get to 1000. The average 300 win mag firing 180 gr bullets requires 18 to 20 moa roughly to get to 1000. That said your goal should be for your scope travel to be closer to the center of the scope for the majority of shots. If indeed you have 65 moa that's 32.5 up and 32.5 down approx. A 20moa rail will give 52moa of upward adjustment. That's a long way off. A 10 moa rail will get the vast majority of your shooting in the center of the scopes travel. If it takes 18 moa with your cartridge of choice to get to 1000 with a 20 moa rail all of your shooting to 1000 will be below the center of scope travel. A 10 moa rail will be center of scope travel at 600 or so and 9 moa above center at 1000 but will give 42 moa of elevation. These measurements are approx. and dependent on how true your firearms receiver is. Your ideal situation depends on a lot of variables including bullet weight and velocity. I hope this helps in any case. Good luck and shoot straight Bob [/QUOTE]
