Hi Shoot44 , I would like to say 1 thing , you made statement about millet with 140moa elevation 70 each way , what you not understanding is many of the Higher end scopes are designed to shoot the entire elevation of travel here is an example .
say USO b25 5x25 , when you zero and reset turrets you have entire 24 mils of adjustment , same with other tier 1 scopes , also many pcp guns have canted pic rails like edgun , taipan and others , so having adjustment is not hard ,
I have shot a airforce condor 900 yards with a coldshot , which is a canted like scope mount , so you cant say it cant be done , I am a ulr range shooter and today with powder burners people have surpassed 5000 yds , optics have come along ways , remember , people in this forum are shooting very close range in real world of ULR shooting here is designations
0-300 yd point bank range
300 to 500 short range
500 to 1000 mid range
1000 to 2000 long range
2000yd + ULR
here is some long range gear for ULR just so you know it can be done ,
this is called cold shot has 144 mils holdover or they have a moa version for 300moa
this is a taco mount like a periscope designed by a navy seal , he has confirmed hits out to 500yd , it is a unique unit goes on back of scope , and has ability to adjust 800 MOA ,
and then their is good scope bases for long range which are made for specific purpose to hit where u want to hit ,
hope this helps you understand When Bob said 218 yards this is nothing in the sceme of things , he doesnt need anything but a decient scope ,and his ability to shoot straight LOU,
