Here is the scenario:
The bullet drops 1700 inches at 2000 yards The rifle scope base is 20 MOA. The scope has 40 MOA of adjustment The reticle has 20 MOA below the crosshair Assume the scope zeroed at zero scope elevation at 100 yards. Ballistic solution is 85 MOA, therefore I will not be able to hit the target using the scope at its ranging setting. Is this correct? |

And yes if you need 85 moa and the scope only has 40 moa internal and 20 moa in the reticle then you will be 25 moa short. Time for a new scope. |

OP, if you really love your scope, you can add a tarac which is a prism wedge to use to dial dope..depending on which one you can dial UP TO 800 MOA into your scope as needed for long shots.they have several versions depending on what you want...Night Force also makes one but I don't think its near as nice as the TARAC stuff...
