need help

[chestsprings]

just had built on a Savage target action, 6BR, 26 inches, put a EWG 20 base.........weaver T36.......with Burris Signature "Z" rings.....

is the 20 enough to get me to 1000 yards, or do I use a -5, & +5 Burris inserts, or 10's or 20's......

thanks

You should have enough elevation with this unless something is way off.

It's your rifle and scope...why don't you tell us?

KRP,

If I knew, I wouldn't be asking for help.........

sounds like you don't know by your "smart" reply........

what's your beef ??????????

The only way you're gonna find out is to get it zeroed and see how much elevation you have left to play with. I think you'll find that 20 will be close, but not close enough. If you can get 16" above a 100 yard zero you're in the ballpark at 1000.

thanks for the info. that's some thing I was looking for that will help me...........I had no idea how far above 100 yds that would get me close at 1000.....

now I have a "benchmark" to work with...........I'll try the 20 with zero's, & if I can't get min. 16 inches high at 100 yds, I 'll put the 5's in, if I do get more then 16 inches, & have some adjustment left , then I can start from there ..........

really appreciate the info.......

thanks........

My bud just set up his Savage with the 20 & he has plenty of elevation in his scope. I have 20 on my Rem 700 & it's more than enough. I do think it depends on the scope though. Are the z rings high or low? I have the Millet high rings & my bud has the Voretx rings.

the rings are medium.........the spacing between the rings is 5 inches, & the space between the barrel & the bottom of the scope is approx. 1/4 inch......

at 100 yds., I'll try zero's, then the 5's............based on Hotolds42 suggestion above, my goal is 16+ inches.......this gives me a start........

thanks.........

You're right, I don't know. Why don't I know...because it isn't my rifle/scope/ammo/shooting conditions/etc.. Zero your rifle and figure out your available adjustment, then subtract the needed adjustment for your situation from the available adjustment. If you come up with a positive number you have enough, a negative number you need more.

So you know, I have several 6BRs and have shot them to 1000+ yards. With a 100 yard zero using 105-107 grain match bullets at typical BR velocities I would expect to need ~30 minutes of adjustment to get to 1000 yards. You really didn't provide any pertinent info in your original post and expected someone to provide a magical answer.

I'm sorry I'm not as "technical minded" as you...........if I was, I could expect a "magical answer".........

I appreciate the other posters info..... they had helpful info, not derogatory...........

[Hotolds442]

I need to correct my info a bit, when I entered a BC into iStrelok, I fat fingered it. With a 105 AMax at 2900fps zeroed at 1000, the table shows 29.4" high at 100. KRP's info was spot on.

Getting too snarky. Closing thread.
