Picatinny rails

[v-max]

Hi just wondering if a picatinny rail with 0-MOA or with 20-MOA have any diffrence with your drop chart in the amount of adjustment needed at same ranges?? I know the 20-MOA is more to give the elevation for longer ranges 700+ etc.

So say a 0-MOA needed 5-MOA to shoot POI at 300m would the 20-MOA be the same??.

Presuming that you zeroed your scope at say 100 yards with both rails, the come-ups to 300 yds would be exactly the same.

 

The 20MOA rail simply saves you 'using up' your scope's available adjustment.

 

For example, let's say your scope has a total vertical adjustment of 50 MOA. When you have zeroed at 100 yards, you could have 'lost' half of the 50 MOA - leaving just 25 MOA - not enough to get-on at 1000 yards.

 

By using a 20 MOA rail, you will 'recoup' another 20MOA - so you will get on at 1000 yards.
