    On my new 6.5 PRC I don't expect to reach out past 600yds. Do I still need a 20MOA scope rail ?

    I had a 20 moa rail on every rifle I owned thinking that if I ever got to a range that would go "out there" I would be ready. Well it got me going the other direction, we had a match the required 6 shots at 50 yards and 20 shots at 100 and I could not dial it down enough to get either. I went back to the standard rails.
