6 Br, what's it take to...

20MOA Farrel Base on my XR and on my M700 gets me to 1000yds with room to spare and I can still get down to 100m with it. Using Med TPS on one XR, Med Burris Extreme rings on the other and Med TPS on the 700.

On my XR I had a Warne rail then mounted a 20 moa 1 pc N/F ring set and I bottomed out at 200 but had lots of room at 1000.
When my older boy wanted a rifle this year we got him a Factory Savage in 6BR , got 2 pc N/F mounts 15 Moa and mounted his 42X NF BR scope. Last weekend we shot a match ranged from 300 - 1000 and he said that trying to adjust up at 1000 the scope adj. started getting stiffer/harder to turn so he quit trying.
We figured ok, better get 20 moa mounts.
Spoke to Peter today (you know Peter) and we found out that N/F doesn't make a 15 min. set of mounts that these ARE 20 moa.

He should be reaching 1000 easily.

Now i'm wonderng IF the Warne rail I had under my 1 pc actually was flat or maybe 20 min. giving me 40 moa of elevation, which could explain why i bottomed at 200 with room over 1000.

But that said, 20 min. should have him reach 1000.
Thinking of contacting Ferrall for a 30 min. maybe.

I know Ian had the same Farrel base on his XR and could not zero at 300yds, 300m was about as low as he could get but the 900m mark was an easy reach.

Try a set of the Burris rings with the inserts on top of that canted rail....should get you up where you need to be.
 
I am using a 15moa mount with a Sightron SII 36x with 1/8 clicks and I have about 10 minutes still on the bottom left and lots left even at 1000. I am spoiled by this scope. I am 30ish MOA up from my 100 yard zero.
 
If I had it to do all over again, I would not bother with a tapered base. My scopes have way more than enough internal adjustment to make 1000 yards, and Richard is correct... I could not make 300 with the taper.
 
No sense

With a 20 moa base and the factory specs of 40 min. adjustment it should reach 1000 with no problems.

Most every modern target scope has more then enough elev to make the trip. You just need to shim it appropriately so your SR zero makes sense.

That is the big reason I am so fond of the Burris rings w/inserts. You can fine tune your zero as you see fit.

Actions aren't always flat and barrels pointing in the right direction so the amount of shim you get from a base can vary wildly.

A 20 min base can be perfect on one action and not enough on another of the same make.

Set it up however you want, shoot is at 100yds to get you SR zero, dial up the scope and see how much up you have. If enough, enjoy. If not enough, then shim the scope using the inserts to put the zero where you want.

Couldn't be easier and you never have to lap rings or worry about ring marks - also known as bent scope tubes.

Only scopes with 1" tubes generally have problems with reaching 1000 - at least with cartidges that are routinely suited for that type of shooting... no gurantee with a 45-70.-
 
So you guys are saying even a .223 could have a scope that could be set to shoot from 100 to 1000 without different mounts or rings?
 
The TPS TSR "W" are nice looking rings and run about $100 delivered to your door from the manufacturer.
