Waters Rifleman Pro ELR 240 MOA or 80 MIL Picatinny rail, adjustable from 0 to 240 MOA or 0 to 80 MIL

ELR ("Extreme Long Range") shooting comes with many constraints, such as caliber, bullet velocity, drag, etc.

But whatever rifle you use, one parameter always comes into play: the elevation of the line of sight, and more precisely the elevation of the scope. Whether you shoot a hot 6 mm or a proven .50 caliber, you will need elevation for long-range shooting. The only question is: how much elevation, and at what price?

The most common elevation values are around 20 to 40 MOA and are not adjustable. The answer offered by Australian brand Waters Rifleman is the Pro ELR 240 MOA (or 80 MIL) adjustable Picatinny system.

The Waters Rifleman Pro ELR 240 MOA (or 80 MIL) adjustable rail mounts directly on an existing Picatinny rail and gives you a long Picatinny rail (21 slots) whose elevation is adjustable from 0 to 240 MOA (or 0 to 80 MIL), i.e. up to 698 cm of elevation (or 800 cm in the 80 MIL version) at 100 meters!

The Pro ELR 240 MOA/80 MIL saves you from investing in an overpriced top-end scope with a large elevation range, as it provides at least twice as much elevation as the best long-range scopes currently available.

Technical features:

- Made of 7075 aluminum, machined to 0.02 mm tolerances

- Weight: 405 grams

- Black anodized finish and stainless steel clamping screws

• Increments of 30 MOA (minute of angle), offering elevation of 30, 60, 90, 120, 150, 180, 210 or 240 MOA

or

• Increments of 10 MIL (milliradian or mrad), offering elevation of 0, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70 or 80 MIL

- 32 mm height between the top of the WR Picatinny rail and the top of the Picatinny rail mounted on the rifle, giving enough height for a line of sight above a muzzle brake fitted to an 81 cm (32-inch) barrel

- 195 mm (8-inch) long Picatinny rail, allowing very long scopes to be mounted

- The Pro ELR offers 21 slots, giving plenty of options for mounting any optic

- A single screw at the rear of the mount adjusts the elevation from 0 to 240 MOA (or 0 to 80 MIL)

- Simple design, yet able to withstand the recoil of the largest common calibers

- 5 lateral clamping screws for secure clamping along the entire length of the Picatinny interface, combined with 2 recoil lugs at each end of the mount to prevent any forward movement when firing

- Laser-engraved elevation scale (in MOA or MIL) for easy reading and adjustment

Note: The elevation can be adjusted beyond 240 MOA/80 MIL. However, this exceeds the intended settings, and we cannot in any way guarantee the integrity of the mount or its correct operation.   

Zeroing: Your scope will need to be zeroed at the minimum distance you will shoot at (100 meters is a good starting point). Zeroing a scope at the bottom of its elevation range is not recommended.

Long barrels: Long barrels will probably appear in your line of sight when the mount is set beyond 180 MOA. To compensate, you can add a Picatinny riser (spacer) and/or use high or extra-high scope rings.
