[QUOTE="4ked Horn, post: 62591, member: 11"] Your turrets will probably have clicks left over even after your erector tube stops moving (hits the top of the scope tube). Do this at the range: 1. Rest your gun solidly on sandbags or a bipod and look through your scope. 2. Now turn the elevation turret and watch the picture move (It will move opposite of the way you are turning the knob. Its supposed to.) 3. As you come to the end of the turret movement the picture will stop moving. Note this turret position (20 something MOA and X number of clicks) THIS IS THE EXTENT OF YOU AVAILABLE MOA ADJUSTMENT. Any other turret adjustment in this direction will have NO EFFECT ON YOUR TRAJECTORY. If you need more adjustment to shoot farther you will need a tapered base or rings to lose down movement and add it to your up movement. I did this on my humble little .308 and I can shoot the crosshairs out to around 1200 yards. [/QUOTE]
