More MOA?

[Baerman]

I've mounted a Vortex Viper HSLR on a Ruger 6.5 creedmoor and sighted it to 200 yds. The dial had to be twisted so much that I'm now limited to 22 MOA or just under one twist of the dial. This limits the range of the rifle to about 600 yds. Anybody have recommendation on how can I go about getting more MOA adjustment out of the scope? Obviously, 600 yds is more than plenty, if not excessive, for hunting but it would be fun to practice shooting targets longer range.

this setup shoots lights out by the way! I'll get pics next time out but it was shooting bullet holes at 100 yds with a lead sled as a rest.

Install a 20 MOA base.

22 MOA should get you to over 800 yards.

yup, like everyone is saying, install a 20moa base. all my rifles get them anymore. can't really think of any reason to not go ahead and use one in any situation. no difference in price

You are right, I stand corrected. I was over thinking the 1/2 moa adjustment. with the 143 eld-x looks like I should get about 850.

Thanks all! I'll order the 20 MOA rail.
