My new ZCO527 in MOA is mounted on my 375CT ELR rig which has a Picatinny rail of 55 MOA. The scope sits in a Sphur mount with 0 MOA.
Straight out of the box the elevation turret will go up from 0 (it is set at 0) to 117 MOA as per spec that being the max elevation on the scope. I shot the rifle at 100m with this setup expecting the point of impact to be sensibly higher than my point of aim but the shot was 10 moa below my point of aim .
Basically, this means that to zero my scope at 100 m I have to lose 10 moa on the turret and cancel out the 55MOA on the rail. How can I avoid losing all this elevation can I remove the turret and wind down the ZERO stop and reattach the turret as one does with NightForce and use the zero offset measurement as input in my ballistic calculator (my zero would then be at 800m for example)? I don't think this is possible as the scope elevation turret is already maxed out at 117MOA. Is this possible? is this scope unsuitable for ELR disciplines where one requires max elevation on the turret?
