I emailed Mr. Hakan Spuhr of Spuhr mounts asking him what combination of mount I needed. For a 300win mag to get out to 1700m.
I wanted to know if I needed to buy a 20 MOA (6 Mils) mount to go alongside my 20 MOA rifle base. Fitted will be a Kahles 624i.
This is what he had to say about it:
In theory the scope can be tilted HALF the Elevation.
The elevation of your scope is 26 mils.
So theoretically it can be tilted 13 mils (45moa)
But mostly scopes that are tilted that much will sacrifice in image quality at short range.
So I usually recomend against heavy tilting.
If the Kahles will sacrifice in image quality do I not know.
Did anyone have image quality problems from heavy tilting of the scope at short ranges? I bought the 20 MOA mount anyway.
Best regards,
Nico.
