Scope Rail for Model 12 in 6 Norma BR?

[oldwrench]

I am setting up a new Model 12 in 6 Norma BR and plan to use a 105gr bullet & a Nightforce BR 12-42X56 NPR2 riflescope. Does anyone know if a "0" elevation, a "10 degree" elevation or a "20 degree" elevation would be best at 500 yards? I would like to be able to sight in @ 100 yards, but do not plan to shoot much over 500. We are limited to a max range of 600 yards here. My concerns are keeping the elevation adjustments in a reasonable working range. Thank you & safe shooting - oldwrench

The standard rule of thumb is 0 moa out to 500 yards and 20 moa out to 1000 yards.

With mine, I do have a 20 MOA rail installed. With a 100 yard zero it takes 13.5 MOA to get to 600. Shot it at Talladega again this past Saturday. I'm pushing Nosler 105 Custom Comps at 2750fps with 30gn RE-15. Not a fast or hard load, but super accurate in my gun.

There's not much reason to NOT put a 20 moa rail under your scope unless it has insufficient elevation adjustment to zero at 100 yds. With your NF scope, that won't be an issue, so do it, and you'll always be prepared to shoot further when the opportunity presents itself.

Mate, I recently purchased a Model 12 in 6mm BR & fitted it with a EGW Picatinny rail (Zero MOA $77) & fitted a Nightforce 12-42 x 56 cope with a NPR2 reticle.
Currently shooting Lapua Scenar L 105 Grain projectiles & using 30.3 grains of AR2208 & getting reasonable results at 200 & 300 yards but it is early days yet.
Can definitely recommend the EGW rail which you can have in Zero/20 MOA etc
