Hello all, I recently purchased a new Savage 110 Tactical Desert. I have finally settled on which optic is going to be fitted to this. I am putting a Vortex Viper HST 6-24x50 on it. For this particular project I am trying to get as much of the optics internal adjustment as possible to be available.
The rifle comes with a 20MOA EGW rail already, But I am prepared to purchase another rail to get to the bottom of the adjustment and just put the 20 MOA rail onto one of my other Savage rifles.
Question is this: The maximum internal elevation adjustment for the optic is 65MOA. Will 30MOA be too much built in adjustment? Will I still likely be able to zero very close to the bottom of the adjustment without running out of adjustments for the actual zeroing process?
The reason for this thread and discussion is that I intend to attempt to shoot this rifle at 1 mile. With my load My approximate elevation adjustment is 83 MOA .Now, with a 20MOA Rail I estimate that I will have around 45-55 moa of vertical adjustment. I have around 30MOA of holdover in the reticle.
Now I know that the most sensible solution is to buy an optic better suited to that task, but right now my budget doesn't allow for the extra cost of a more expensive optic. The 30 MOA EGW rail is only $69....
Any advice? I just need to know that with Holdover and elevation adjustment I will have enough to get there. That is really what matters to me.
I also know that there are better calibers than 6.5 Creedmoor to fit this task, but I already have it and I don't see the hurt in trying.
