Rem 700 .338LM

I really fail to see what a +60 or even a +75MOA base would go on for that matter. Even in a Nightforce 3.5-15 scope that has 110MOA of total elevation, you really only have 55MOA of travel from a flat rail. On 15 power, if you're bullet archs that much that you need over 100MOA to hit what you're shooting at, theres a good chance
#1 you can't see what you're shooting at,
#2 when the bullet gets there, it will barely dent the paper.
#3 there's a good chance that you need extra high rings or else your objective lense will be touching your barrel because of the extreme angle of your rail/scope.

If someone has some insight as to what these rails are used for, I'd love to know.
 
yes, bipod is on backwards. was at the range with him today with some new loads with seirra 250 MKs . got the vellocity up, and it still seems to be shooting good, so tomorow we move to the big range, up to 5 miles. going to set up some gongs at 1000 and so on. hopefully its a good day for it.

I was thinkin about the same rifle. Should be able to hit at 2200 yards. In theory from JBM Ballistics.

Both Glock and I know as do a few others who have our 338LAIs that 2400 yards is easily obtainable, this was proven at Summerland 2008.
I am running plus 40 rail on my rifle with 8x32x56 NXS scopes which only have 65moa built into them. 2400 yards requires 93 moa in my gun, and I can still zero at 100.

Bigger plus moa rails will make zeroing at 100 very difficult if not impossible
