Thread: Zero MOA rail/base - why?

A while ago I did a bedding job for a fellow member and when he dropped the gun of he asked if I could remove the 0moa rail and fit a 20moa. "You just keep it, maybe you can use it someday.

Bought a Delta Stryker for competition and thought "what the heck, why by a new 20MOA, I've got a rail, 0moa but still, it was free".

Much to my surprise I'm able to dail out to 1400m with ease.

Maybe I just got lucky, I dont know, I recon its made possible by the Deltas huge elevation capability.

Delta Stryker has 100 MOA of dial, that is 50 on each side. Assuming perfect parallel action and barrel, you would had about 45~MOA left to dial after 100m zero. 45 MOA would take a 6.5 Creedmoor to 1450 yards. With extra 20MOA, 6.5CM can go to 1750 yards.
