Rifle Scopes Schmidt and Bender 4-16 issues

[paramil]

I seem to remember a while back that there were some elevation issues with the single turn MIL/MIL 4-16 Schmidt and Bender scopes. Something about not being able to get a 100yd zero without having a certain base.

Anyone know what I am talking about or did I just dream it?

I don't know what you could be talking about. I've got a 4-16x42 S&B on a GAP 308 with a 20 MOA Badger base and had no problems getting a 100 yd zero

Sounds like you misread something.... as that makes no sense at all.

I had a problem with mine. But that was due to a bad erector spring.

Maybe this was the thread?

This one also talks about scope base cant and zeroing range

OP's question makes perfect sense. You'll need a 25-28moa base to zero that scope at 100yds and be able to take advantage of all the available elevation travel. I have two of them and use the AI 28moa base. Works perfectly.

May not be the same thing as he did not ask about taking advantage of all the available elevation travel. There should be no problem obtaining a 100 yard zero with most bases.

I most likely read the thread wrong and the object of that post/thread was about utilization of available elevation. Thanks for the clarification, much appreciated.
