Easy.

Yup, no sweat

If you get a custom rail with a 30 degree slope, it should make dialling an option, or else you can just use this "off scope" type holdover some of these guys talk about....

Ask your local field artillery battery VC.

.375 Cheytac 3km Shot, 1 Metre square target with Blaze Target Flash - YouTube
I was present when this was shot. Just to give you an idea of how hard it is to shoot at those sort of distances, we had a minor cold front come through.
The 2 degree temperature change it brought, we estimated changed the verticle point of impact by 8 metres.
Windage wasn't a problem but verticle definitely was.
And yes shot first thing in the morning to try to minimise the wind.

How about those H3 H4 treated pine 4x2 front end risers

Good shooting there Muz

Conditions & area you are shooting are critical.

Finding decent places to shoot ELR is extremely difficult

What projectiles etc were you using ?

1MOA at 100 yards is still 1MOA at 3300yards ...

Yes Dear

It was a good day for it Muzr, took quite a bit of organizing to do it, not many people out there would have a riser rail that gives them a 2.2km zero, I'll have to get some more footage of the other hits posted to prove it wasn't a one off fluke

I must get a photo of Tony's riser and post it. It definitely makes a 20moa taper seem puny!

Couple of years back had a go at a 660m target with my Sako75 308 with a Weaver V9 scope using holdover.
Couldn't see the POI so put a tracer round and found I was about 2/3 of the way there. Walked it up with more tracers until on the barn size target.
As Gimp said, while there is lead in the air .............
