Any word on new offerings from Really Right Stuff?

Received "order is complete" email for Order #293X, placed January 28th, on 6/16/2018. Haven't seen a charge or shipping information yet, patiently waiting (and glad the balance didn't hit the CC in the same month as Camp Perry :) ) Order is for a right hand, standard bolt face short action w/...

I lost a Multicam SAP Run n' Gun bag at the Kestrel match this past weekend at Peacemaker. I think I might have lost it near the tank trap or pick your poison stages, but it could have been over by the Kestrel barricade on Frontier too (or about anywhere else I suppose). My last name JAWORSKI is...

Still available? I have a shooting partner that's been hoping to make the match (and I'm hoping he can too, otherwise I might be eating the entire cost of the hotel).

I'm curious what the OP decided to do. I came on this thread still trying to figure out what to do with my M5xi. Mine is mounted in a 20 MOA Spuhr on top of a 20 MOA rail for a total of 40 MOA, and I can't zero at 100 yards, bottomed out. So much for the 45 MOA recommendation from Steiner. This...

So I'm confident at this point that I'm bottomed out, but I'm also suspicious that I received a scope that, for whatever reason, has tolerances that are overly biased towards the bottom of the travel, based on the experiences of black max and of my shooting buddy with the same setup. I'm going...

I believe there's some mechanical adjustment / travel beyond the adjustment range in the turrets, according to the Steiner tech that I spoke with at length. Even on the turrets you get 0.2 mil below zero, and 0.9 mils above the 26.0 mil hash. In Cal Zant's big scope test he puts out there that...

black max - now that's what I was hoping to see. I spoke with a very helpful gentleman this morning at Steiner, and he explained how the internals are set, and then depending on the German that assembled the thing, some adjust to optical center, some to mechanical center, so there's some...

Spoke with Steiner on the phone. Unfortunately I don't have the optic in front of me, but was eager to get an idea about what I'm dealing with. Apparently I actually might be at the bottom on the mechanical range of the optic, having the full range of adjustment available to me on the turret...

The odd thing though is that before I headed to the range, I was actually dialed to ~1.5 mils elevation, and just slipped the turrets before heading to the range to re-zero after swapping stocks. At a minimum you'd think I'd have at least that much to play with still, but appears to have...

I'll be calling Steiner tomorrow, hopefully there will be a simple DIY fix, no time to pull it and have it make a round trip.

Thanks for your response. I understand what you are recommending, it's what I've done to zero previously. For some reason though, I can't move down at all from my current setting. I can move up 0.9 mils PAST the 26 mil point, which jives with the total travel that Cal Zant reports in his review...

I am having problems coming down enough to zero a Steiner M5Xi 5-25. I had no problem zeroing this scope when I first mounted it on my Remington, and slipping the turret / setting the zero stop. I just swapped stocks to a MPA chassis, and the zero shifted up ~0.5 mils. When trying to adjust...

Agreed, 57" is what I used in the match, but after reading 59" above I assumed I was wrong and went with the flow. Went with 2.6 mils low too.
