triple2 Posted February 3, 2014 Report Share Posted February 3, 2014 Looking at rails for Tikka etc what is the MOA in regard to? ie its a 20moa rail Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveT Posted February 3, 2014 Report Share Posted February 3, 2014 It means that the scope mounting rail is inclined down by 20 MOA (20 minutes of angle) instead of being dead flat. This gives the scope elevation turret a 'head-start' (IE saves you using 20 MOA of the scopes overall 'come up' ) to get to extended range with your scope which may have limited elevation range. You can usually get a 100 yard zero even with such rails. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brown dog Posted February 3, 2014 Report Share Posted February 3, 2014 You remind me of my mum Not too much I hope. UKV is different because people here are both passionate and knowledgeable about precision rifles as well as able to be polite and respectful to each other: UKV functions with the respect and politeness that one would expect chatting to a shooting acquaintance over a single pint. There are other websites that cater for the ignorant, the e-angry and the e-brave types who appear to go online for no other purpose other than to argue about nothing. d'accord? Or does that need further explanation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5R-Twist Posted February 3, 2014 Report Share Posted February 3, 2014 Hi all Talking of Tikka Rails (Weaver or Pic). Does cost of such rails have any affect on performance on a rifle. Reason I ask is the Tikka T3 rails seem to triple in price. Can get one for £20-30 but also pay £90 plus. regards V Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tisme Posted February 3, 2014 Report Share Posted February 3, 2014 Recknagel one is good and costs about £40 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roe Posted February 5, 2014 Report Share Posted February 5, 2014 Cost can be related both to quality, labour cost and hype. For instance, a Norwegian product can be very expensive as labour cost is really high. But the cost does not necessarily reflect quality. An US manufacture can be equally expensive du internet buzz only. There seems to be ho shame in US marketing and quality isn't neccesarily reflected. A small business with small volume will necessarily have a larger startup cost per item. You can actually ring these people up and likely make a physical product from your ideas. A large scale, professional business can spit out the same part for a fraction if interested. It is however unlikely they will ever produce your niche product. There are exceptions such as mentioned Recknagel. A China production can be silly cheap, but they treat the labour force as expendables. Ebay is the place? Out of principle I try to support those specialists we have. Imagine Britain without proper tradesmen, gunsmiths, small-shop machinists or "economically non-viable specialist workers" .
