Rifle Scopes Setting Steiner Military/M5xi series Zero Stop

[SuperBoot]

Hey fellas,

I made a video on how to set the zero stop on the M5xi series scopes from Steiner. I saw some other text directions but they weren't great, and the videos posted on youtube already were terrible.

Hope this helps, let me know if there's any questions.

Hello , my military 5-25x56 wont go into 2nd rev. It used to though.
I zeroed it yesterday than i realized elevation knob gets stuck at the end of first rev
I hope you have an answer to it thanks

How many mils adjustment do you have above your zero?

I posted in his thread. He mounted it on a 0 moa mount. He just run out of elevation. His scope is fine.

LOL ..........I just got notification of this post while I was telling him his scope was out of elev adj in the other thread.

It gets stuck at 14. It's where this scope go in to 2nd rev

Your scope is already in it's second revolution, 14 is topped out in second revolution.

1 rev is up, 1 rev is down, your zero stopped in middle, so you only have 1 rev up available?

How can you tell?

I leave for 5 minutes and.....

Some quality learning time going on in here

How can you tell?

If you adjust downwards past the zero stop until the turret is completely bottomed out, you should get two full revs out of the scope.
If you have to come up a full revolution just to zero the gun, that's an issue with the cant of your mounting solution you need to address, not a scope issue.

How can you tell?

Scopes are typically designed so that the cross-hare when parallel to main tube will fall at approximately the middle of total elevation range.

For your Steiner that means 13 mil will be available in either direction from approximate zero when using a flat pic rail and rings.
This is why most newer tactical type rifles all come with at least a 20MOA pic rail. What that does is require you to turn down an extra 6mil to get zeroed, and thus adding an extra 6 mil to your available up adjustment.
To simplify if you just put a 20 moa (6mil) rail under your zero deg.scaler mount you'd now get 5 mil past 1 rev, add a 40 moa and you'd get to 1 rev plus 11 (26mil).

Ok but if my rail and mount is 0 moa than elevation should go 13 up and 13 down but mine goes up 14 up and stops back at 0 and wont go down another 12 or 13 . What am i missing here ?

What do you think a zero stop does.
