[QUOTE="Samesaw, post: 2588544, member: 52672"] I had a similar experience with a 20 MOA rail. We forget that these rails are designed to let you spin the elevation turrets down from center to give you much more elevation spin at much longer ranges. Therefore, try hitting paper targets at about 25 years then 50 years and you will see bullet path climbing high very quick, so you must sight in way below bull at say 25 yds to even be on paper at 100yds. I admit, this was a head scratch for me when sighting in my TikkaUPR .308, wasted way too many rounds trying to figure things out. I subsequently removed my 20 MOA rail for traditional scope mounts that I could understand. Might switch them again, now that I know what going on. [/QUOTE]
