Rifle Scopes How much Up elevation will have left, 30mm M1A

[USW.260]

Ok so I have a M1A and all of that, but I'm running an SadLak scope rail/base and I'm using a 30mm tube. After a 100yd zero with 175smk how much more up elevation will I have. I am using a Vortex PST 2.5-10x44 MIL/MIL and will need somewhere around 11-13 mills up for 1000yds. Now I know what a 20moa base will do and what a 0moa base will do for a person, but new to the Sadlak which I assume has 0moa cant right? Anyways anyone who runs scopes and Mils or MOA turrets "I can convert" let me know what I will need. There is a video on YouTube where a guy is shooting to 1k and uses 11.5 mils up elevation and has no trouble getting there but he is also running a 35mm scope! Thanks for Your help.

Depends how your sadlak goes on the rifle. Some go on and have tons and tons of elevation left, so much so that they can't be zeroed @ 100. You won't know for sure until you go to the range and try it out. May also have ejection problems with it on the rifle.
