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?

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.
 
Re: S&B 4-16 X 50 FFP4 single turn

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.
