Hey gun nuts,
I have a short question for you guys. Lets say im looking at a scope for my new rifle. I see the nikon prostaff 4-12x40 with 60 moa of internal adjustment in elevation. Now with that much adjustment i could shoot long range (within reason) with that optic. Now I go to the range and sight the gun it at whatever range (usually 100 yards)and find that i only have 21 moa after sighting it in. Now how do i get that 60 moa potential if i only have 21 moa after zeroing?
