Weaver T-36

[ANDY T]

Hi
Can anyone tell me what the wind-age and elevation the
Weaver T-36 has, as i am looking to use it out at a 1000-1200yds if it has wind-age and elevation needed.

I would check on the weaver site as all the specs should be there.

Andy -

Howdy !

Can't directly answer your Q, but will offer an idea.....

You can use a tapered scope base ( like a 20M.O.A. ).
That would certainly help insure your scope is more towards the middle of its elevation adjustment range, when utilized
@ 1,000.

With regards,

Accordng to Weaver's web site.
Adjustment Range
in. @ 100 yds/M @ 100M
60/1.7

I can say with my 6x47L I had enough adjustement to go from a 100 yard zero out to 1000 yards and still had adjustment left, with a 0 MOA mount.

you can always use the rings with the 20 moa windage inserts called Burris Signature rings. You may not even need a 20 moa scope rail to get on target with those but even if you do it's a great scope for the money and worth getting new rings to use it especially considering the price of a scope with that much moa built in.

you can always use the rings with the 20 moa windage inserts called Burris Signature rings.

The Burris rings have a inserts that are measured in thickness, not MOA. MOA depends on how far apart the rings are from each other in relationship to the amount of height diference. It is possible to use the .20 + or - inserts and not get 20 MOA, or get more than 20 MOA.

FWIW I use the Weaver T36 on my .243, with a 225 yard zero it has enough elevation to get me out to 1k, ahve to check my notes but I know it works. I bought the Burris inserts in case it didn't but haven't had to use them.

Andy,

as 357Mag points out, it's not just about having enough adjustment to be right at 1,000 as you want to be in the middle of the adjustment range at long ranges, not stuck right up at the top of it.

That's because the erector tube that holds the rectices and the turrets move is just that - a tube, ie circular. So the amount of windage adjustment available and the accuracy of the clicks is affected by the elevation setting and which part of the erector tube the windage knobs bear upon. If you've used up nearly all of your available elevation, you'll have a lot less windage available, and of course, the longer the range, the more 'windage clicks' needed to be applied for any given wind condition.

The other thing you don't mention is what you're shooting - 6BR or 6.5X47L, never mind a 7mm magnum, needs a lot less elevation increase to go from 100 to 1,000yd compared to .308W with a 155 at modest velocity. There is often 10-MOA difference between cartridges / loads in 'come-up' needed.

With the Weaver T-series scopes, the Burris Signature Zee mounts with offset inserts work very well.

I have ma 22lr set up for a long range game we play 200+yds.
I use a T36 on a 20moa base with a custom TK Lee reticle.
Using dots I'm on at 100,150 and 200 at once.
If your shooting is fixed distance no problem.
Just use a base and burris inserts.
If you want a long range dog set-up to cover multi yardage
go with the dots and shimming.

Andy, the answer to you question is that the Weaver T-36 has a total of 60 MOA of windage and elevation adjustment. So with the scope optically centered and the gun sighted in at 100 yards, you only have 30 MOA of elevation left and this is usually not sufficient for 1000 yards.

I shoot 1000 yards using this model of scope and find I need a 20 MOA base to get the elvation I need to to shoot to POA at this distace with 30-06, 308, and 6mmBR.

Hope this answers your original question.

Thanks George
I will be using a 20 rail and will be shooting a 6mmbr
Uniuqe Alpine TP1 and 308 what load do you use at a 1000 in your 6mmbr

Guys while there is attention on the 36x weaver i have a question i've been meaning to ask
i have 3 scopes that we're talking about each on different rifles.. when i crank up
the adjustments to reach 500 yrds i've notice my impact is usually [almost always] to the right
at least an inch + ... i know the wind isn't always blowing to the rt...
is that something scopes do ? -- is that the tongue of the barrel ?
i'm on Leupold bases so i start out centered lt & rt i have leveled all my scopes as bet as possible
can you fellas coment on that please
Thanks..
