Rifle Scopes 100yd zero, 2nd rev indicator showing

I’m not familiar with the mechanics of the turret on a k318. But I’d wager that if you’ve already zeroed your turrets per the instructions and have this problem you need to get a 20 moa mount.

You want your zero to be towards the bottom of your scopes adjustment range so you can maximize how much elevation the turrets will give you.
 
that Is about correct if you don’t have any MOA built into the rifle pic rail and nothing in your mount.

I have set up zero stops wrong, different brand same result.

Reread setup instructions some are not written well.

My last zero stop would come up to stop 2 clicks below 100 yards and not actual zero.
Not a big deal.

Once you have your 100yds setting, you have to loosen the screws on the turret and turn the cap all the way down so the indicatior disappears and then retighten the screws at 0. Then you should have all the travel that is left in the scope with the indicator not showing at your real zero.
 
Does it stop at the zero stop under zero? If not, you have the turret mechanism tripped for the second rev and you need to spin it back a rev when floating the turret.

yes, about 3 clicks below my zero is where the stop is. Think I figured it out, when I was spinning the turret freely with the screws loose, I was hitting a false wall, pushed a little harder and the red pop up went down. Guess I just didn't force it quite enough. All good now.
