[QUOTE="razakain, post: 914798, member: 72280"] Thanks for the advice. This forum is phenomenal, especially for a newbie like me. I am glad I happened to choose these Burris rings. I have loved them so far. Since I am only looking to go to about 600 yards with this particular rifle, I was planning on ordering two .005 inserts, putting one in the back and one in the front to try to get close to 10 MOA altogether. This would keep me closer to scope center than the 20 MOA suggestion, correct? I understand 20 MOA would be better for long range and I will buy those inserts when I get done with my 7mmSTW project for that rifle. Since it won't be exactly 10MOA in adjustment, but probably a little less based on the exact MOA formula using ring spacing that I read earlier on this forum, I believe that will have me low of center about 4 MOA, since I am about 6 MOA above center now. This scope is by far the nicest scope I have ever owned and I am impressed by the clarity, but I want to wring every last little bit of clarity from it that I can. Also, I have a quick question about reticle subtensions. This scope at 15x is 8 inches between the thick wires at 100 yards. This would equal 16 inches at 200 yards, 24 inches at 300 yards, and 32 inches at 400 yards, right? Thanks. [/QUOTE]
