scope base info needed

We are aware of that. He actually bought 2 in mint condition from a friend and former camp member here.
Who at 79 feels he's old and ready for a rocking chair somewhere lol.
Both are n x s models in 8x32 and the other a 5.5x22. He likes power so he is going to use the 8x32 on this gun.
We intend leaving the 40 minit base to see how that works.

with the 8-32 im pretty sure you will have to zero at about 500yds or you will run out of adjustment it has 65moa elevation and 45moa windage....the 5-22 might make it at 200yd zero...it has 100moa elevation and 60moa windage..if i remember correctly my 8-32 was about 15moa on a 20moa base which gave me about 50moa on the dial zeroed at 200yds and anything past about 1500yds i had to start holding for on a 300wm.

I have an 8x32 on my 338 chey tec which is about 200 fps faster than the 338x378 with a 300 gr.
I can barly make a mile using a 20 minit base with the 8x32. We dont hunt that far anyway so its not
really all that important to us. But it can be fun trying to hit rocks once in awhile.

thats why i switched to the ATACR on my 300 and ran the 8-32 on my 260 for a few years...with the ATACR on the 300 i could dial for 1845yds and still had a little left in the turret.
i know he likes the power but he will be better off with the 5-22 on that base...let me know if the 8-32 works out on the 40moa base in interested to know.

I would be using the 5.5x22 if it were me on that gun, probably with the 20 minit base we still have.
But ive stopped telling kids in their 40s and 50s what they should do.
They might get mad and not take me along anymore lol.
