Ok I am new to long range shooting and absolutely love it. I currently run a mossberg night train atr 100 chamberd in 308 with 6x24x50 super swat barska scope. I have only gone out around 600 yrds, I'm trying to focus on fundamentals rather than distance. Most of the time I just shoot between 100-300 yrds. This set up is perfect for me as a beginner. But it does limit me in a lot of ways. I am picking up the ruger rpr 6.5 creedmore and mounting the vortex pst 6x24x50 w/ moa adjustments. The ruger rpr has a 20 moa picatinny rail. Will I have enough moa to get to 1000 yrds And further ? I'm sorry if this is a dumb? Please be patient with me as I am new and absolutely obesesed with long range shooting. Also if any body has tips and suggestions I am all ears. Thank you.
 
Vortex PMR's or the Seekins Precision (they are the same just a little bit different heights).

These will most likely be all I ever run. They just plain work and don't break the bank.

TPS TSR rings are an excellent choice for the money.

If you go with rings similar to the Burris XTR, be ready for sone heavy lapping. Ive had a few sets starting out and it took a lot of work to get them alligned.
 
ARC M10 rings are my favorite, but not sure they would work for your application.. I would think the extra highs would work.. These rings are very well designed, but the seekins/vortex rings are good ones as well..
 
You might want to rethink the MOA reticle and adjustments on your scope. Most long range shooters use MIL reticles and adjustments and if you're shooting with someone else you most likely won't have to worry about converting between MIL and MOA.

What ^he said. If you are still learning, it won't be hard converting from MOA to MIL. I recommend the switch so you have an easier time talking with other shooters and spotters when you really start to stretch your range.
