oh ok. gotcha. Im still looking around to see if I can find a 700-1000yd range. I can get out to about 600 at our camp in clinton, maybe a lil more.

idk fellas, i ordered a 20moa egw base from swfa and thats what showed up. i'm assuming the "dual extension" is the extension off the rear as well as the front. what the purpose? other than the ability to mount the scope an inch or so more to the rear im not sure
