| I really like to have the LT745 or the LT158. However, on the 745 require MOAs. I have MIL/MIL on my scope for an AR10. How do I determine which MOA? I am always have anti-cant figured in to the mount and scope. Or I just might stick with 158 or a 104. Thanks. |

The MOA for the scope mount is just how much built in elevation the mount has. It does not have anything to do with whether your scope is mil or moa.
If you want 10 MOA of slope in your mount, it just means your mount is not flat parallel to your gun. The more slope (MOA) built into your mount, the farther you can shoot before your scopes internal adjustment maxes out. Many people use 20 MOA mounts on top of flat bases or flat top rails if that's what your gun has. Some gun bases or top rails come built with 20 MOA already, so you can use 0 MOA mounts which are more common mounts. FN SPRs, Larue OBRs, and many others have 20 MOA built in, so adding a 20 MOA scope mount gives 40MOA. The only problem with too much built in slope is at some point your gun is pointed so far up, your scope can't adjust down enough for closer ranges like zeroing at 100 yards. But you've got to have a lot or have a scope with a limited internal adjustment to run into that. You may know all that and I just misunderstood your question. |
