Anyone actually taking advantage of this? I wouldnt think that this is useful for airgunners. I just got mine last week .22 shorty. Now I have to get adjustable rings to level it back out. I only shoot short distances.

Taipan Veteran 20 MOA rail

- Start date
I don’t have the Taipan but I have other rifle with the 20moa rail. I usually sight them in at 75 yards and use the reticle at shorter and longer distance. I have found that even with the 20 moa I need to use adjustable rings to raise the back end to shoot at the longer distances up to 225 yard longer than that I haven’t been too good at being consistent. So my vote is for the + 20 moa rail but I think you should be given that option when you buy the gun. I have 40 moa on my 1000 yard 6.5 creedmore

I gotta ask what scope do you have? And what distances count as short to you? Sighted in at 20yds should be no problem as I've done it many times with guns with 20moa built in. As it gets me very close to my 55yd zeros.

Right now its a sidewinder. I did a quick zero at 25 yds and had to max out the elevation to get there. I shoot HFT yardages

The 20 MOA rail should allow you to adjust for more elevation, not less. I use it all the time. When shooting out to long distances, there has to be a lot of compensation for the pellet drop. I have no trouble sighting in for short distances or long distances thanks to the rail.

Same here, I've had two different scopes on mine. A Sidewinder and for hunting I use a Leupold EFR. No issues with sighting in at 40 yards.

The scope and rings came off my impact. the turrets were roughly centered optically to achieve zero at 25 yds.
the 20moa rail is angled down (Causing poi to be high). To correct for this i had to adjust the turret very close to being maxed out.
what am I missing here?
It makes sense to me that if you give yourself more long range adjustment by “pre angling” the rail 20moa down, you lose in the close range adjustability.

Hmmmm... Elevation adjustment range on a Hawke Sidewinder is 80 MOA. So if you were optically centered, that's 40 MOA up or down. So even counting the 20 MOA rail, that still leaves about 20 MOA to adjust. I've never run into this hand have the same scope on the 20 MOA rails on my Taipan and my EDgun... No issues, and about a full turn from the bottom when zero'd at 45 yards.

I also haven't had any issues . Are your rings mounted correctly? I use scopes with only 60 MOA adjustment and seem to work great at shorter distances.

I will double check the mounting. I did do it pretty quick but it did look seated correctly.

Operator error... Turns out there is still 3.6 MRAD of adjustment left. = roughly 1 ft at 100 yrds. It felt like it was near the end out in the field the other day. Maybe it was getting cold.
Thanks for the input everyone.
