Rifle Scopes Athalon ares ETR help

[Lesco Brandon]

I have a masterpiece arms 6.5 CM with a curtis axiom action with a 20 MOA rail. I mounted the ETR in vortex 1.1" rings. There isn't much space between the scope and the barrel. I zeroed and set the zero stop to discover I only have 11 mil of elevation. What are others getting? Is this normal?
20 MOA rail is correctly installed. My zero stop is actually set on the second rotation per the turret, leaving me 11 to go up.
EDITED: added pictures

Does not sound right, especially w/ a 20 Moa rail. Try loosening the zero stop and see how much elevation you have again. Though the zero stop should only limit downward rotation. But it's a starting point.

Edit: and pics always help when diagnosing someone other's issues. If possible.

Something is not right. Try swapping the front and rear rings.

Ya, good point. Although the should be a matched pair. I will try that.

Seekins rings are generally very good, but I have seen weirder things.

Shit!!! I think my switch lug is sticking up slightly higher then the rail and my front ring was on the lip. Thanks guys!

Zero’ed out my buddy’s ETR and could only get 14 mils of adjustment after.

That sounds correct if you have a 0 MOA rail.
