I have a question. I am thinking on getting the Sightron S111 10-50x60 scope. The specs. show 50 of elevation. I have a 20moa rail on a Savage110 in 6.5 Creedmoor. The question is, can I get a 100 -200yrd. zero or do I need more elevation? I had a few cheaper 1" scopes on it and I had to aim way below the target to hit paper even at 300....I generally shoot at known distances of 300- 500yrds. and ocasionally to 1000yrds. This is not a tactical rifle, We just shoot groups for bragging rights....Yeah, I know, 10x50 is a lot of magnification, I'm old and blind...but, have repeatedly hit torso sized targets at 1000 with a SS 10x in a R700-.308. need more power,plus the dot covers the target...also looking at the S111 8x32 with 70 elevation....any thoughts?

I would think you should be ok to get a 100yd zero with a 20moa base and that set up.
I'm guessing a little here but if the scope has 50 moa of travel and on a 20 moa rail you should have 40+ moa of elevation/up to work with. This will get the 6.5 creed to 1k easy with a 100yd zero.
