Rifle Scopes Question about MOA Bases

[one66stang]

I have a PST Gen 2 on a .22 LR with a 20 MOA base. After sighting in I only have 6.7 Mil available in Elevation. I would like to have another 10 Mil of Elevation, but be able to keep my 50 yard zero. What MOA height base will get me there?

3.3 Mil ~= 11MOA
Slap on a 30 or 35 MOA base.

Maybe it's just me but your available elevation seems off. The pst gen 2 has 20 mil plus the 6 from your base. So that means it took 9 mil from center to zero in which is basically the bottom of your scope.

Did you put the base on backwards?

Did you put the base on backwards?

That's the conclusion I came to.

Flipping it he should have 13 mil elevation plus the reticle.

Would probably still want a 30moa base anyways though cause it's a 22lr

Thanks guys I will check and see if I put it on backwards
