[QUOTE="Topshot, post: 475472, member: 13285"] I have two of them scopes. One mounted on a .338 WM and one on a .338RUM. See a write up on the RUM here.....[URL]http://www.austargets.com/sambarrifle.htm[/URL] They claim 80 MOA of elevation adjustment. With a 20 MOA rail I had about 48 MOA of [B][U]up[/U][/B] left to play with from memory. Two problems with this scope. 1, reticle is not perfect in line with elevation turret. Due to tilted reticle, I get about 500mm drift due to induced cant at 1000 yards. I now shoot with a ACD level with the turret and a reticle that looks like it is tilted to the right. 2, Elevation clicks are about 7% greater than advertised. So you get more than you want. This has to be taken into account with each shot. Apart from these two things they have been good reliable scopes. [/QUOTE]
