To ensure the scope will have the needed elevation adjustment available to go out to 1000 yards, I got a set of Nightforce 20 MOA scope mount bases for my Winchester Model 70 receiver, and am ready to install them. But now I am stumped; since my only available practice range maxes out at 300 yards, how should I practice? Should I:
- Not install the bases, but zero the scope with the current non-20-MOA bases, and then switch mounts for a 1000 yard event?
- Go ahead and install the 20 MOA bases, and practice on a 300 yard "thermometer" target that shows calculated impact points for 800, 900, 1000 yards above the POA?
- Try another approach?
