So, I know that Nightforce says their 7-35 has 27.3 mils of travel on their website but here is a link to two articles where someone is claiming they are getting 36.3 mils of elevation. I would just assume it’s a typo but he is very specific and says it multiple times in these two articles.

I tried calling Nightforce twice today but got their machine both times. Can anyone help shed some light on this? Do you think he means to type 26.3 mils?

What rail cant and ring cant combination are you guys using?

Mine is on a CZ455 trainer. I have an Area 419 15 MOA rail and Burris XTR Signature rings. I was hoping I would be able to get the scope down lower for better cheek weld with the 15 moa rail vs the 30. But I had to shim an additional 30 MOA through the rings to get a 25 yard zero and still have two full turns. So while the scope has 36.7, I only have roughly 24 usable.
 
37.1 here.

I have it in a 20MOA Unimount. This let me dial to 1800yds in 4000ish DA with my 6.5 Creedmoor. I had to hold a few mils when I sprayed and prayed at 2000.
