[QUOTE="BlackTail30, post: 1983458, member: 8632"] The Leupold ZL2 turret (Zero Lock, 2 Turn) limits you to 2 rotations. 20 MOA on the first rotation and 18 MOA on the second rotation. It won’t necessarily matter if you add a 20 MOA base [B]WITH THIS SCOPE[/B] because you will still be limited to the 2 turns and 38 MOA of elevation.
