Thread: Zero MOA rail/base - why?

ho hum....so lets pretend for one minute you have been good lad and all the stars were aligned the day rifle left factory,the scope rail is PERFECTLY aligned in both verticle and horizontal planes and your brand spanking new scope is clicked to dead centre in both planes,you put it in rings and its already pretty much spot on at 50 yards when you go to range.....and you now saying you want it to be pointing 10" low BEFORE you start......

well thats not hard...... if your scope is centered,and your rings are centered and everything is lined up well,you dont need to use up any of available clicks to be on target...at most will use 12 clicks to raise point of impact .....and you will still have lots left....my .223 works like that. the scopes adjustment is just about dead center as the rings on it just work right.
