20 MOA scope base, sight in at 100 yards?

[jaredc]

I would like to but a 20 MOA scope base on my longrange varmint rifle to get out to 1000 yards once in a while. The scope has 44MOA of adjustment so it seems to me that I will be still able to sight it in at 100 yards if I want to. Or, do have to choose either 100 yards or a 1000 yards? Is anyone else running a setup like this that could give me some input?

I have my 6 BR set up for Varmints to 1150 yards. I have 6 clicks until I bottom out my scope, but it is zeroed at 100. Then I can click all the way to 1150. Using a 20 MOA base and some Burris offset ring inserts and a Weaver 6-24X classic.

Yep, I figured it would be close. Thanks, that's the input I was looking for.

If you learn to do your own ballistic calculations life will be so much more fun. Open this site. It's really pretty easy once you you use it a couple of times. You can plug in any numbers you want and change them at will.
