Rifle Scopes S&B question

[dieselten]

I just bought a S&B PMII 5-25 DT mil/mil. The manual says the internal elevation is off set by half of the total elevation so I assume this means 7.5 mils???

My question is, will I be able to go down enough to get a 100 meter zero with a 20 moa rail?

Also, does this mean I have 22.5 mils of UP using a standard flat top with no incline?

Thanks

Thanks </div></div>The 5-25x56 has a TON of internal travel. AI made a <span style="font-style: italic">45 moa</span> mount for use with this scope, so yes, you'll get a zero at 100 with a 20 moa base, haha! When using my 18 moa AI mount, I had somewhere around 22 mils of upward travel, so you should have about the same.

You will have no problems getting a 100 yard or meter zero with that scope. As mentioned it has alot of internal travel. Mount it up and go shoot it.

No problem at all getting your 100 meter zero, they're designed for that and then some

100 meter zero is easy with that scope

I've zeroed a 5-25x56 at 100 yards on a 45 MOA AI base with no problem.
