My rifle is zeroed and when I turn the elevation turret up into the 2nd rev the turret stops at 19 mil and wont allow me to continue to 26mil. How do I fix this?
 
Re: S&B PMll MTC Turret Issue

Sounds like you don't have any MOA built into your base or mount.

What are you shooting that requires more than 19 mils anyhow?
 
Re: S&B PMll MTC Turret Issue

i have ATRS 20 moa base. I'm not shooting where i'd need it but just trying to figure out why the turret would stop there when is can go to 26. Could I have not slipped the turret when i Zeroed it?
 
Re: S&B PMll MTC Turret Issue

The PMII was designed for a 45moa base. I have a premier heritage that i zeroed and am only left with 23.5 mils. Thats with a 30moa base, even though my turret can go to 28 mils.
 
Re: S&B PMll MTC Turret Issue

That's normal. I have mine in 20 MOA bases and have about 17-18 Mils left on them. Doesn't bother me as the calibers I have will get out to 1000+ well before that.

If you feel the need to have the full mil travel then you need more MOA in the base but I would say just leave it and shoot it and see if you actually need all those mils.

+1 except I'm getting 20-21.5 on mine. More than enough to take me way past my capabilities.

Or you could just use the reticle.

My Kahles K624i stops around 18 mils on a 20 MOA Surgeon base.

If I want to go at a mile, which is the very limits of the 284 win,
I use 3-4 mils holdover. Works great!
