An EGW 30 MOA rail is way too much for shooting The Rat at 50 yards. I ran out of elevation and was still ~2.5" low at 50 yards. She's back at the smith, getting her stock rail put back on.

Just keep telling yourself A steady diet of Ramen noodles is worth it.

Ya be nice to test one out I'm almost thinking of putting it on the 6.5prc when they finish the 500 yard range that's not to far but should get a idea on how it looks and if it tracks. Plus 500 is probably just far enough to test tracking and not have any other things effecting the bullet if shot farther out. I like the reticle from what I see in loons video and glad I'm not the only one that gets coughing fits, keep them halls handy.
I'll probably try it on my daisy 753 target air rifle it has the Walther barrel so is accurate enough to test any poa shift plus the pellets drop fast after 10 metters so would be good test on the turrets.

Maybe I’m missing something, but I don’t understand this. The 30 MOA rail should have you shooting high, if anything you’d run out of adjustment before you get it down to 50 yards.
Wasn’t on backwards was it?
I wouldn't have thought so, but that never occurred to me.

30 MOA rail should cant down/lower in the front towards muzzle.
Back of my EGW 20 MOA rail measured .452" thick and front of rail measured .424" (Right side towards muzzle) - https://www.thehighroad.org/index.p...22lr-on-the-cheap.898035/page-2#post-12214070

I received mine a couple of weeks ago. I was going to put it on my Ruger 10/22 but ordered the wrong rings apparently. Amazon sent me 1” instead of 30mm. I will save them for some other day since for less than $15, not even worth the hassle of returning. I bought some 30mm rings from Amazon for even cheaper, which will fit the 11mm dovetail on my CZ452 trainer. They arrived today. I’m happy to report I got lucky! These rings are the perfect height for a cheek weld, and the scope clears the iron sights on this rifle like they were made for one another. That is to say, there’s a gap but not much of one, which means the scope is as low as possible. This is known as a somewhat difficult rifle to scope, so I’m doing a happy dance now. Can’t wait to get to the range and try her out!
You want the good stuff for cheap Thai Chef tom kah. Nissan Raoh if your a beeeeg spendah!

Nissin RAOH is good stuff, especially their dual layer/texture noodles. Yum.
If there's Grocery Outlet nearby, they "sometimes" have good prices on various ramen noodles.
When I saw $1.99 for Nissin RAOH Tonkotsu (Green color package. They were just under $4 at this time at Wally), I emptied the entire shelf. They are not as good as restaurant Tonkotsu ramen but they don't cost $12-$14 either.
(And no, there's no restaurant nearby that serves Tonkotsu ramen)

I like the fire Nissan Ramen bowls but they went from less then a buck to like 3 something each. Probably can find cheaper online tho. Wish top Ramen would do a spicy pack, they may make them but never seen any.
Ill send you some of what we got when i send the scope.

Whether it was on backwards or not, it's been replaced by the original rail now. I also think that I should probably only introduce one variable at a time into the equation. Got a new scope, that's one. Rail was variable #2.
Well, maybe that 30 MOA rail will have to go on my Howa Mini...
Will it fit the mini? I actually dont know what bases they take lol

Rem 700, long action will fit long 700 base but short and mini won't work with 700 short one piece. I've Hurd a few times people say the howa front ring is actually a little higher then standard 700 but don't have one to check.

One of mine was couldn't zero, the other three or four I used 700 bases on and were fine
