I am mounting a scope on a sporterized Mauser. I want to use it for long range target shooting, which I am new to. I am taking a course soon and want to have the scope ready. I have a Vortex Viper HS LR 6-24x50.
8mm Mauser with a 24" bull barrel.
I want to zero the scope at 100 yards adjusted full down to give me 68 MOA of up adjustment.
I need to adjust the base to make this work.
My question is:
I have a 66 yard target in my backyard, but can't shoot in this area.
If I bore sight the rifle and raise or lower one end of the scope base to get the crosshairs on the target, should that get me on paper when I get to the range? (50 and 100 yards targets)
Is it that simple?
