periencing a signifi cant change in the impact point. So, once I’d established a relationship between the M.O.A.B. index dial settings and where the bullets were falling on the target at 100 yards, I repeatedly switched the setting back and forth, each time looking for any noticeable deviation that might start to materialize. I used the 100-yard range for this purpose because I thought it would eliminate some of the human error that could result in skewing the data. Heaven knows I have plenty of that going for me! Eventually, however, I moved back to the 600-yard range. Overall, the result was a pleasing one. Unlike what sometimes occurs when a reticle is moved around, the M.O.A.B. system seemed to have a very accurate memory when it came to returning the bullets to the previous set point of im- pact on the target. It should be pointed out that the
M.O.A.B. system has a tendency to add a bit of height to the scope positioning. In the case of the Model 150 MOA, es- sentially it amounted to about an inch, and an additional ¼ -inch can be ac- counted for in the case of the Model 300 MOA. You can keep the scope height to a minimum, of course, by using low rings, but this increase still could, in some cases, be viewed as a nega- tive. If your rifl e isn’t equipped with a comb adjustable style stock it might be advisable to look into some form of aftermarket stock comb height extender. These usually are made of leather or canvas and can be easily added to the butt stock of your rifl e to provide better eye-to-scope alignment. In most cases these come in the form of strap-on, peel- and-stick, or lace-up designs that can be easily and quickly removed when not needed. A few of the companies selling those products include: Brauer Bros., Kick-Eez, D&E, Smith Enterprise, and others, many of which can be found at Brownell’s.

they would last only so long. I thought at the time he was simply getting tired of the noise I was making with them, but now I think he may have been trying to teach me about planned obsolescence. Usually I would not heed his warning and would continue to play with them until eventually they would wear out and break. Scopes are similar in that respect. The manufacturers design their products on a duty cycle basis. In other words, they engineer them to last only so long, after which they will need to be repaired or replaced. Limit- ing the number of times you adjust the reticles of your scope can go a long way in extending its life expectancy … and the M.O.A.B. is a great way to do that! And if you are one of those long- range shooters who sometimes works on the edge of the envelope and are tempted to squeeze one more minute of angle out of the adjustment – well, you should expect that duty cycle to become shortened even more. That is where the Cold Shot M.O.A.B. system can help you stave off the potential problem by having more elevation adjustment ca- pabilities than most any shooter would have a need for.
