Figure I'd share with you guys. I set out to build a MIL RECCE, didn't want to go full on clone, but wanted something close. I've shared the "finished" product with you guys a few times.
The original idea was to run an ARMS #36 rail and ARMS #22's but the rings were out of stock after I ordered so I changed to a NightForce 20moa Unimount (#A192) 1.375" high. Took it to the range this past weekend and couldn't get it zero'd because of my NF mount. I was 5.5 mils high @ 25m'ish and all out of down adjustment in the Leupold 3x9 MR/T. So I ordered a Badger Recon Unimount (#306-317A) 1.54" high Difference in the two. 
 On the OBJ side the difference is roughly 1/8"ish How we're sitting now. I'll paint it after I shoot it.

Seen it a few times before, a mount fixed the issue, or an upper receiver had to be replaced. 4. I adjusted the scope up 20moa at the range the distance the reticle traveled from my original wanted POI to the actual POI was pretty close to 20 MOA. It was easier to read the reticle which showed my 5.5ish mils which is why I mentioned I was 5.5 mils high. |

You are correct newer commercially available MR/Ts have 90” of adjustment at 100 per Leopold’s Specifications. ETA: My Bad I might not be giving you enough info. The knob only allows for 55moa of adjustment. My total adjustment is set to zero at 25moa from max downward adjustment. The real issue here is the upper receiver coupled with the 20moa mount. If I would have put the NF mount and scope on another AR (IE: My BCM or Colt) I probably would have had enough turret adjustment to zero. I was roughly 5" high POI from POA which is roughly 20moa. Now with the 0moa Badger I should be within 1moa of where I want to be at a 100. |

It is designed specifically to use its entire elevation range in one turn so that the shooter can’t get confused. Range the distance, turn the knob to the distance, shoot bad person from 100-800yds was the idea behind it. You are correct newer commercially available MR/Ts have 90” of adjustment at 100 per Leopold’s Specifications. ETA: My Bad I might not be giving you enough info. The knob only allows for 55moa of adjustment. My total adjustment is set to zero at 25moa from max downward adjustment. The real issue here is the upper receiver coupled with the 20moa mount. If I would have put the NF mount and scope on another AR (IE: My BCM or Colt) I probably would have had enough turret adjustment to zero. I was roughly 5" high POI from POA which is roughly 20moa. Now with the 0moa Badger I should be within 1moa of where I want to be at a 100. All the m3 turrets are mechanically the same, it doesn't matter what BDC info is engraved on it. All 2.5-8x and 3-9x use the same erector assembly with 90moa of adjustment to the best of my knowledge. I know the TS-30 does. Are you saying you zero the scope so you can dial down 25moa? If so why? Even if you are shooting off a cliff or zeroed at sea level and then find yourself on top of Everest it's unnecessary. |

Even if you are shooting off a cliff or zeroed at sea level and then find yourself on top of Everest it's unnecessary. Due to where I was impacting I didn't believe the 25ish MOA was enough to get to a 100yd Zero and I didn't want to be at the bottom of the total adjustment range. Now that I have a 0MOA mount I should roughly be impacting right where I want to be for a 100yd Zero while my turret is sitting on (0). |

I asked if you had a normal 3-9x and you said it was the "military model" which is the TS-30.
I understand how the zero stop feature works. Your post made it sound like you were zeroing it with the ability to dial down 25moa. Look at the manual and follow the zeroing procedure. If that doesn't work there is something wrong with the scope or your upper is way out of spec. A working MR/T of any flavor should have no issue with a 20moa mount. |

How? Mine has no steps for anything to index on. Did yours come with a step? When you mentioned AE was making a collar, I assume you meant one that butted up against the gas block. I'm so confused, cold and confused. Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Twitchy:
