Re: getting all your moa etc

I'm not sure exactly what you mean. Are you asking us how to sight in the rifle after bore sighting?
 
Re: getting all your moa etc

sorry my fault for not being clearer,,say on windage you have so many turns of the turret,,say you get it zero,by turning the knobto the left,,but you have used most of your left windage up,is there away to get it back to the middle,so you have about the same for right and left windage,,thanks for your input!!
 
Re: getting all your moa etc

1. Use quality bases, rings and scopes so you need very little windage to zero.
2. Use adjustable bases and zero with the windage on the base.

OR, don't sweat it until it becomes a problem.
 
Re: getting all your moa etc

No way to add moa to either side or up or down once you're zero'd.
If you zero with the base and rings you have and have way more windage on one side or the other you can get windage adjustable rings. If you don;t have the elevation travel you want/need you can get a sloped base. Or you can get Burris Posi-lign rings with eccentric inserts and bias your scope to be more centered......
 
Re: getting all your moa etc

You can also get a down MOA mount which will "cheat" to give you 10, 20 or 30 more MOA on the upside. A heck of a lot cheaper than an adjustable mount.

One advantage to those larger tube scopes (34mm and 35mm) is that they never seem to run out of elevation or windage room.

Re: getting all your moa etc

I would say don't worry about the windage not being centered unless it is way different on the left and right.
