Rifle Scopes 15 or 30 moa base?

[Bryan W M]

Please double check my math and thinking.
Looking at getting a area 419 base for my cz. My options are 15 and 30 moa.
Scope is helos btr 6-24. Website says 18 mils of adjustment.
Want to zero at 50 yards
Will mostly shoot 50 - 250

If my math is correct a 15 moa should be fine
Right around 12 mil drop out to 250.
And it keeps me from being maxed out at the 50 yard zero.
Am I correct? ?

Sounds like a .22 lr......

18 Mils is about ~60 M.O.A

30 M.O.A is about ~8.7 Mils

Sooooooo, If your scope actually has 18Mils of adjustment (~60 M.O.A.) you should be able to zero at 50 yards with 30 M.O.A base.

FWIW I run a 30 M.O.A base on my 22 trainer and can easily zero at 50 yards, heck i can still zero at 25 Yards.

This setup leaves me with lots of elevation adjustment up, so I can dial to 250 yards and not just hold for the elevation.
