Rifle Scopes Bushnell HDMR Adjustment Range

[Pointman308]

I was noticing the the HDMR only has 50" of adjustment at 100 yards. Has anyone had trouble achieving a 100 yard zero with this while using a 15 moa base? The last elite I had only had 50" of adjusment and I did not have enough adjustment at the bottom with a 15moa base to achieve a 100 zero. I really like the sound of this scope. Any input?

Re: Bushnell HDMR Adjustment Range

The first generation DMRs I have handled have 34 mils or over 115 MOA elevation range, and others have reported the same.

With a 20 MOA base I have over 20 mils of elevation left with a 100 yard zero.

Even my ET 6-24x50 FFP has 70 MOA elevation range.

Re: Bushnell HDMR Adjustment Range

I thought maybe the literature I saw was wrong on these but they all say 50 inches at 100 yards but I couldn't imagine that being true its probably just Bushnell'site

Anyone else have any information here? 50 MOA of travel seems ridiculous for a 34mm scope tube, and an optic of that quality. Is this just a typo, or is there really only 50 minutes of travel in them?

I have a 20moa base and 100 yd zero. I get 22mils of travel up, I had to dial 22 and hold 3 to get to 1820yds with my rifle.

The first generation DMRs I have handled (4 different scopes) have 34 mils or over 115 MOA elevation range, and others have reported the same.

What Bushnell means is that they have 50 MOA in both directions. So over 100 MOA total. They just describe it in an unconventional fashion.

34.5 mils of travel on my DMR

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^O/P, I believe this is your answer.^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

I have a G2DMR (5 MIL turret, recent mfg.) I put on a GAP 10 with a 20 MOA base. Like others here, I have about 15+ MILS left of upward travel with a 100 yard zero. Scope has 30 + MILS total.

I have 40 MOA of base angle on my AI AX with 20 MOA in the base and 20 more in the mount.
Not much trouble zeroing the thing at 100 once I learned how to reset the zero stop..
Have a look in the manual.

You know I will chime on this since I started the post and bought an HDMR almost a year ago. They have plenty of elevation to get past 1000 yards with a .308. I have a straight Warren base on my Savage and have gobs of elevation left. Overall I am very happy with my HDMR. I wish it was ten mils per turn, but it has not hindered me at all. I love that scope! Here is a five round group at 800 yards.
