Rifle Scopes elevation help on ss scope

[apbt]

Here's the deal. I have a SWFA 3x 15 sitting on a EGW 20 moa mount on my Remmy 700P .308. Right now with a 100 yard zero I'm already at the sixth "come up" line. Should it be that high for the distance I'm zeroed at? Thank you in advance for any input.

How many Mills of elevation do you have before the scope runs out of travel?

 

[apbt]

If I'm not mistaken I get 5 mils per turn ( I'll have to double check when I get home). I'm pretty sure the "come up" lines go up to 9, so I'm guessing about 15 mills.

Probably more. I'm zeroed on 8 horizontal and thought this same thing but when I tested I'm thinking I had over 20 mils of elevation left.

Is your 20MOA mount mounted backwards?

thinking the same thing 20moa mount @ 100 might be mounted backwards

Thanks for the replies. How would the mount be backwards? I can only mount mine one way.
