Could it be that the 86 MOA is from one extreme to another? i.e. from all the way down to all the way up.

yer i thought about that, however when i zeroed the scope at 100 yards i dont think i used that much elevation moa; that would mean i used over 30 moa to zero at 100 yards !!Sandgroper wrote:Could it be that the 86 MOA is from one extreme to another? i.e. from all the way down to all the way up.

Note your zero , wind it one way till it stops then wind it the other way counting this will tell you how much elevation you have , you may find you need an angled base to use it all.

very good idea! i think that 86 moa they quote could be for both up and down !
Re: vortex pst 2.5-10x32 Max Elevation Adjustment!!!!!
Yes it is. 86 MOA is what is available. An incline rail is what is needed to go loooonnnnnggggg....!
In 1978 I was told by my grand dad that the secret to rifle accuracy is, a quality bullet, fired down a quality barrel..... How has that changed?

Usually the rail on the AR style rifles have 0' cant, you need a base with at least 20' to get out there,joe wrote:yer i thought about that, however when i zeroed the scope at 100 yards i dont think i used that much elevation moa; that would mean i used over 30 moa to zero at 100 yards !!Sandgroper wrote:Could it be that the 86 MOA is from one extreme to another? i.e. from all the way down to all the way up.
