    I have the S&B 4-16-42 on a 20moa base, shooting a 6.5 Creedmore. Used up about 2 mils for 100yrd. zero, will I have plenty left to 1000yds? Dont have tables for the Creedmore, but seems the drop was around 7.2 at 1000. Will the 20 moa base work or would it be best to go to a 30 moa base?

    +1, the 4-16 single turn has 13 mils of elevation total. I'm running an AI 18 MOA base and still have enough elevation left (11.5 mils) to get to 1000 with a 308 so you should be fine.

    Deadly,
    Thanks, figured I would, but never hurts to ask.
    Anyone got range tables for the factory loads (140 amax, Creedmore)in .1 mils to 1000. Elevation and widage?

    I have the same scope on my Surgeon Scalpel .308 with a 20 MOA base. I have enough elevation well past 1000 yards. So you will be fine with the Creedmore. S&B recommends a 30 MOA base optimally, but not always necessary for every application.

    Gentlemen,
    Thanks for the input and the JBM link. will do the data input and see how she flies a little further down the road.

    This rifle is one ACCURATE puppy!
