THe SS scopes have 120 MOA +.  The 10x I had was over 130 MOA

What about adding a 20 MOA or 30MOA base or MOA Rings???
 
Just a thought...
 
The rings or base could be pretty costly however depending on your Rifle you might be able to get as much as 50MOA. 
example: EGW base 30MOA (($30)) + Burris Rings 10-20MOA (($60))
The 16x, 20x Super Snipers or SWFA SS16X and SS20X are the only other ones on the market close to the price that are repeatable...
 
If you need more MOA I would try these:

150+MOA A few more bones but I believe it is worth it.  They are very respectable and repeatable.

The plastic inserts in these rings have built in m.o.a., either for elevation or windage depending on how you orient them.
If it is tourist season, why can't we shoot them?

Ring you seem like a credible shooter.
 
What are you shooting (gun, caliber, weight of bullet, twist, and what does your drop look like from 200-1000.
 
I see you like the .260 I love that caliber...
 
I like the 550yrd 3 SHOT GROUP...
 
Nice shooting on that ground hog.

I am not endorsing this as a tactical solution but it sounds like the poster is just ringing the gong and has to do it for under $400.00 total solution.
 
 
Gives some more details...
 
You can also still use the shim kit to add more MOA (cheap way that could end up incorrect if you do not understand MOA and the effects of ~0.005 vs. ~.010).
 

Posi-Align Offset Inserts
By utilizing Pos-Align Offset Inserts in Signature Rings, you can virtually sight-in your gun without moving the scope adjustments. By keeping the internal optics centered, you'll see through the scope all of the clarity, sharpness, and brightness that the optics designers intended for you to see. The offset inserts also correct for any misalignment caused by receiver holes drilled off center, or the bases or rings being slightly off perfect center. And for you 1000-yard shooters, the need for expensive tapered bases or shimming becomes a hassle and expense of the past.

If you need that much adjustment (and I assume you need repeatable adjustment), for about $300, SWFA's Super Sniper 10x42, 16x42 and 20x42 are pretty much the only game in town.

I'd probably lean toward the 16x model for your application.

Wow! Wish I had access to a range like that! Ours "only" goes to 800yd. Beautiful looking area!

My 10x SS has 68.25 M.O.A. available elevation, and it is sitting on a flat EGW rail. I think I also have about 67 minutes "down"... But the only problem I have had with before mentioned Burris rings is they didn't "lock" into my rail, changing my zero. But this was on a 300 WSM, too.
