Hi guys. Quick qeustion, I'm going from a 0moa rail to a 25moa rail with an mrad viper pst. Now, is the 25 moa accurate at 100 yards? In other words, can I just adjust the elevation on the scope ~.75mils and expect to be pretty close to the original zero at 100yds? I'm just trying to avoid wasting my hand loads.

I doubt it'll be that easy. When I swapped from 0 MOA to 20 MOA on the 6.5WSM, I had some windage changes and elevation change was slightly more than 7

Thanks Hotolds. Yeah I didn't expect it to be right on. I just want to make sure I won't be roughly 2 feet off.

Unless my math is bad off you will have to adjust almost 7 mils or 6.94 to be a little more exact. So your rough figure of 2 feet may be closer to right than you think.

Oops. Yeah, I meant 7.5mils. I don't think you'd get much range out of a scope that adjusted in .05mils.
