I run a 20 MOA Warne rail on my Howa 20" HB Mini Grendel. My scope is a SWFA SS 3-15x42mm in Ken Farrell standard rings (0.835" high) giving me 40 Mils of total adjustment. With the 20 moa rail I have 25.8 mils of Up adjustment left. The Grendel can reach 1200 yds, but it better not be windy day. The Grendel lacks both velocity and high BC bullets to make an outstanding LR cartridge. But 800 yds and under is really it's primary domain, much like the 308 Win.
I have both a 260 Rem and a 6.5x47 Lapua when I really want to stretch things out at long range. But they both are bigger cases and take considerably more powder and heavier bullets. I like Berger's AR Hybrid 130 gr OTM Tactical in those cases. It's pretty amazing what the 6.5 Grendel can do with under 32 grains of powder, in a case that fits neatly into an AR 15 platform.
