One of the most common questions we receive at the shop is:

"Should I buy a 0 MOA rail or a 20 MOA rail?"

Jason dives into the mechanics involved with mounting each rail and when one is more appropriate than the other.

Join us while we dazzle you with space age technology, cutting edge computer graphics, and... well none of that...

Be easy on him... Jason was a music major, not an art major.

    "This ammo is not that expensive"...said the guy from 2017.

    This was extremely informative and helpful for a new rifle owner, thanks a ton

    I’m building my first AR (AR-10 specifically). I came into this video confused about all these mounts with different MOA’s. I now know what it means, thanks to this video, and will remember this information for the rest of my life. So thank you Just wanted to let you know that I’m genuinely very grateful for this information. Whether you know it or not, you are positively impacting lives. Keep doing what you’re doing, you got a subscriber out of me
  • Informative optic consideration. Thank You for the comment, "Would I take the shot hunting?, Absolutely Not." Our new shooters and young people need to understand that there is a higher measure of efficacy applied when shooting to kill.

    Great video, I guess that lots of guys will have easier times on deciding on which rail to put on the scope...
  • @aaronshirk746
    The video I never knew I needed. Makes shopping for a new optic easy. Thank you!
  • @billy19461

  • @loc4725
    That was informative & well presented. Thank you!

    Awseome video. I have been thinking about this for a while now and about how to get the most out of my equipment. But haven't understood the principles of what I was thinking. Thank you for connecting the dots for me!

    A minute of angle is 1/60th of a degree and there are 360 degrees in a circle. A very minute separation whereby, at 100 yards the separation is a only 1/4". At 50 yards it's 1/8" and at 25 yards it's 1/16". At 25 yards it takes 4 clicks on turrets to move your point of impact 1/4" or 16 clicks to move 1". 20 MOA = 1.25 ", 20 clicks at 25 yards.

    I fully understood the concept at the very end when he said, "You can DIAL it in for those yards." Dialing the turrets to center at different yardages is a newer concept to me. I am still using mill dots only. :)
  • @a-a-ron4679
    Good info. I have a 20 moa rail on my RPR. After I mechanically zeroed my scope, then zeroed my rifle at 100 yards, I gained an additional 5 mils or 17.5 moa in elevation.
  • With more people trying longer ranges with 22 LR being able to get more elevation quickly becomes important. Thank you for a clear video I can refer people to.
  • @ChrisHolman
    Great video. Very informative. I walked into this video thinking it wouldn't be helpful, boy was I wrong! Thanks!
  • @brightideas5782
    Oh I get it 😊thx this is very helpful and useful!! Much appreciate you taking your time on this video,
  • @aarondavis176
    Oh my gosh I have been searching for this video for a long time and didn't know it. A beginner like me doesn't know what he doesn't know. Then I stumble across this video and so much more suddenly makes sense.
