For those of you who have one, please post the actual elevation reticle travel you had with the scope out of the box, if you ever actually verified it. I want to see what most are getting and any between scope variation. My purpose is to settle the question of "is there any true difference between published and actual reticle travel specs in these scopes?"

TIA

Re: Bushnell 3.5-21x50 HDMR G2DMR reticle travel ?

34.4 Mil total

On my 6.5 Creedmoor with a 20MOA base, I have 17.8 mil DOWN and 16.6 mil UP from my 100 yard zero.

According to my data, in theory, that's enough to get to 1580 yards. I'm still learning, we'll see how that works out in practice

I would think I would get more UP adjustment on my 20 MOA base. Wonder if the knobs are centered funny or it it really eats up that much travel getting it zeroed?

Any ideas?

FCB- Is it possible you mounted your base backwards? No idea what rifle you are running, so I don't even know if it is possible for you, but might look into that...
