Rifle Scopes Leupold Mark5 5-25x56 max elevation

[marzo2]

Just wondering...
WebSite says 34.5 mils of elevation

BUT you can only do 3 turn of turret? So 30 mils

Is that right?

The spec is total elevation from bottom, are you starting at the very bottom of the erector assembly (is the turret bottomed out, not just a .5 mil past the zero stop)? Also each rev is not 10 mil, look at the numbers on the baselines and you will see.

I dont own one, but looking to buy one. And I find it odd that I see these specs and every review id talking about 3 turns of turret

 

[jbell]

That is probably because there is an indicator for the 2nd revolution (the push button for the ZS goes flush), and one for the 3rd revolution (a silver button protrudes from the top of the turret).

my mark5hd is sitting on a 20 moa base on top of a bergara hmr pro 6.5creed. From zero I have 28 mils of elevation to play with. that's on the third set of numbers

You must shoot really really far if this is a concern.
