Hi,
I have a question, the answer would seem obvious to me from the get go but I thought I would throw in a post and make sure I am right (not sure if I have posted in the right place here either, so sorry if that is the case)
I have bought an 20 MOA rail to raise my scope up a 1/2" I did not necessarily need the extra MOA as my scope zeroed at 600 (with about 2 MOA left to go up) and we don't shoot out beyond that really (The scope was mounted just a bit low for it to be comfortable). The first risers I tried were 2 separate 1/2" ones and the threads on them stripped after firing about 20 rounds (but raised the scope the correct height for it now to be comfortable on the cheek), I saw this 20 MOA and figured the extra MOA's would not be too bad a thing to have (seeing as I only had a couple left to play with) and more importantly, the fasteners to the picatinny rail are proper Allan Keys and are milled into the unit and there are 3 of them. (The previous risers were a form of quick release type ones with a "butterfly" type fastener to tighten them up)
In any case that was more about the history of why I decided on the 20 MOA, theoretically now having mounted this rail to my gun and my scope was previously zeroed on the 0 MOA rail, would that mean I can DOPE the scope down 20 MOA's (more or less) and it should theoretically be ok? (Obviously zeroing would still be done and a requirement after doing this) but I just wanted to check that I understood this correctly. I have seen other posts where guys have bought so called 20 MOA rails and they turned out to be like a 15 or something, so saying that all the mathematics are correct in terms ow what it say son the tin, would the DOPE down be correct?
Thanks in advance for any advise.
