For you guys shooting at extended ranges with 22lr. How much "up" do you require as minimum? I currently have 18 mils up from a 50 yard zero (400 yards?). Sig rings will increase that to 23 +. How far are you guys shooting with real consistency? What should I be looking for as minimum for a play/fun rifle?

I tend to lean toward the "as much as you can get" category...

I like the higher powered scopes, which don't always have as much as you'd get with some others...

My Vudoo's wear 30 MOA rails and 30 MOA in the mounts. From a 50 yard zero, I've got 29 Mils of elevation.

The longest I've shot with consistency is a little over 400 yards...

Once this shelter in place crap is over, I'll be running them out as far as I can. We've got just under 1,000 yards at our farm that I plan to see what they can do...

One of the guys in my Facebook group has really impressive videos of him shooting 600 - 800 yards with his Vudoo using a Charlie Tarac...

Thanks for the info.

I ask because my scope mount options are somewhat of a limiting factor. Rifle is a Schultz & Larsen single shot. I had it tapped for bases and had to shim the rear just to get it level. Though this rifle shoots pretty well, it's definitely a compromise for long range stuff. Being it's a single shot is kind of a bummer, too.

EVERYTHING below zero,is useless.

40 MOA is easily arranged with 30mm Horn's,which is a nice start(10+ Mil's of inclination).

I've a goodly herd with 40 Mil's of erector available and 10 more on the Windshield,for an obvious 50 mil's total. It gets USED and is FUN like nothing else. That's 700yds++ with more than a few flavors of ammo,in my AO...which will be more forgiving to most everyone else.

75MOA total,is a nice place to be with a 6 or 10x Fixed Fucker.............................
