Just mounted a Tango 6 5-30 on my 6XC with 20moa base Seekins rings and zeroed it @100, set the stop and caps to zero.
Then comes the confusing part. From my zero to max dial I only have 16 mils of elevation, which in theory is good to 1650yards. My Vortex that was on the rifle is MOA and I can dial it to past 1800yards. Specs on the tango 6 says 23 mils of total travel, I know I am not going to get all of that but it still seems low with only 16 mils somewhere I lost some mils. I figured I would get close to 2 full revs on this thing..
 
One or two have been eaten up by the stacked tolerances of the mounts or your rifle’s POI. This isn’t a bad example though, pretty normal.
