I mounted the scope on a one peice AI mount. The mount has 18 MOA built into it. The scope mounted perfect. I took it to the range and zeroed it in. After I set the top turret to the one. I could not do a complete turn of the elevation. The elevation turret is marked 1-13 in cm clicks. It tops out at about 11. Is this the range of the scope? And no I did not put the mount on backwards. Has anyone ran into this with these scopes?

I thought so. It is me and the mount I chose. I went against what Randy from Mile high told me, and see what happens.

Standard? Guess my 4-16x50 didn't get that memo...

Mine sits on a 20MOA base, zeroed at 100m with a .308, with two clicks on the negative scale, and it still goes all the way to 134 clicks. Sure, it's 2 MOA in difference, but still.

On what range did you zero? And how much horizontal adjustment did you need?

mine is set on AIAW 308 26" barrel w muzzel break. I set the zero at 100 yds. Tops out at just over 11. I have orderd a 28 MOA base to correct the situation. The 18 MOA base is for the 338cal.

your scope have an elevation of 160 cm at 100 mt, 54,98 MOA at 100 mt. Which type of cartridge do you use ? A friend of mine use a sierra .308 175 grs with 42,5 of VV N140, V° 770/780 (I dont remember) in a Sako trg-22 with a rail of 20 moa. At 950 yards his sinlge turret elevation work at 11/11,5 marked cliks.
