[QUOTE="tug, post: 5802096, member: 4692"] I confused the issue. I am expert at making simple things incomprehensible. 788s came in 3 action sizes. The .44 mag has a unique size. Then a short for the .222, 223. 22-250, and 30-30. A long for the 6mm, 243, 308 and 7mm-08. I think most quality scopes can adjust to POI at 100yds with a 20 moa rail. For example, if you have 70 moa travel, you should be able to get to POI with 10 or more MOA left over. Probably. No guarantee. There is a case to be made that if you zero at 100 and don't shoot long range, a 0 moa rail might be a better idea since it keeps the reticle in the middle of its available travel. I have shot a 788 rifle (not carbine) out to 800 yards with a 0 rail and ran out of adjustment and reticle stadia before I ran out of accuracy and ballistics. There are no perfect solutions. Only tradeoffs. [/QUOTE]
