Rifle Scopes What rail to run with EREK?

[71firebird400]

I know you're all shaking your head at ANOTHER EREK question but I reassure you I have searched and can't find much of anything besides how to set the zero-stop with these knobs.

My question, and I admit I don't have a thorough understanding of how the EREK operates, is what rail is preferable to run with the EREK? I understand that it allows the erector and reticle to be moved independently, does this mean I can reposition the internals of the scope so that I have max available travel on a 0 MOA base? Or is it still advisable to run a canted base?

This question stems from the fact that my rifle currently has a 0 MOA base, and with my USO showing up in a couple months I want to know if I should replace it with a 20 or 30MOA cant.

Thank You

It depends, but not on the EREK. The amount of available travel in the scope itself does not change because of the knob used. For what scope and rifle, and what is your application?

From what i was told, USO sends out their scopes bore sighted at 100yards from a 20 moa base. Personally, I would just buy a 20 moa base and be done with it.

Graham,

Rifle is a 20" 308, regularly shoot it to 600 yards- occasionally make it to my buddy's place where we can go to 1k. If I'm basing it off of that, the 20MOA should get me there no problem with the available travel of the SN-3. I need about 12 mils to get there.

Thanks

Mark

I use Badger 20 MOA bases with mine, and with some time, patience, and fine tuning I set mine up so my 100 yard zero is bottomed out, then set the Knob at 0 on my 200 yard zero. The first time I did this it took me a while. Do a YouTube search on USO EREK ... couple videos over there that helped me wrap my head around how it works.
