What sort of conditions are you shooting in where you need 30MOA of windage?
After all your talk about FFP you bought a SFP Bushnell. Will your next scopes retical be in the first focal plane?[/quote
I have no idea why you would need that much elevation. I found in my research that that amount would be plenty for target shooting.
And yes my next scope will more than likely be FFP because "after all my talk about FFP" I think I like it.
Sorry if I have gone contrary to your expert opinion but nothing you have said is really relevant to my cause. But thanks for trying.
Besides, it's rather difficult to buy a decent scope for under $400 with FFP.
The Nikko Sterling 6-24x50 in FFP came in as a close second but was pipped by reputation.
30 minutes of elevation is not much on a .22LR. On the RPR due to its 30MoA rail, that full 30MoA of adjustment won't allow you zero it at 100m, or any closer than that.
Set the turrets to the centre of their travel, then mount the scope on the RPR and boresight it at 100m. Your reticle will be 30MoA below your boresight, that's almost 900mm low at 100m. To bring the reticle up to zero you need to wind the turret up more than 30MoA, the bore axis plus the bullet drop at 100m.
30 minutes of windage though would be extreme.
