Thread: Scope height vs MOA adjustment

Hi humans,

I have a Vortex Viper HS 4x16 scope and currently have it sitting in two piece low optilocks on my Tikka.

I currently only have 23 MOA available for elevation of the possible 50 MOA the scope travels. Scope is currently at 1.68 inches (chamber centre to scope centre)

So if I was to go with lower rings (one piece Optilocks) would that give me more or less adjustment? My brain tells me less but I have no idea really.

Any thoughts?
