Guys i traded for a nightforce 40MOA scope mount rail and i have a question. Will i be able to zero a nikon monarch scope at 100 with such a steep rail such as the 40MOA rail? I just didnt know if i would have any proplems with it. I have used 20MOA rails in the past but never a 40. thanks Lee

How much adjustment does that scope have? I had my leupy 8.5-25 damn near bottomed out with a 20 MOA rail on a 700 LA for a 100yd zero.

All you have to do is crank and see if you have 20 left in the bottom on if it is setting on a 20 moa base now.
I can crank cheap 6-18 tasco back to 50 with a couple to spare.

You'll have problems at 100yds. I think the Monarch has less than 50MOA adjustment, so you ought to be keeping your rail around 20MOA or so.
I wouldn't run a 40MOA rail with anything that has under 100MOA travel, they're ideal for NF scopes with 100MOA and more of travel.

Re: nightforce 40MOA rail ????
Lee,I would probably stick with a 20MOA,that way you are not maxing your scope out on the adjustments.I was actually surprised on how little adjustment I had left on my Leupy after I zeroed at 100.
What distance are you going to do most of your shooting at?

I just went thru this with a 300WM I rarely use. I couldn't get it zeroed @100 w/ a Mark 4 and figured out it was the 40 MOA Nightforce base it had on it. I would of thought there would be plenty of adjustment but there wasn't.
