I got my SS 20x mounted and ready to go. What are the additional numbers for on the elevation turrets? Above the 1 MRAD it has a 6 and the only thing I can figure is that it's 6 MRAD after a full revolution?
If so, what is the purpose? I'm new to this so need some help Eagle Edited by EAGLE - April/12/2015 at 19:03 |

NO, the turret is marked for 5 mils per rev. so you zero at 100 yards, the numbered lines are 1 mil, so on the turn up after you go past zero would be 6 mils.

If it is tourist season, why can't we shoot them?

It just takes a little bit of stress out of the picture if you happen to be in a hurry. With 5 mils per turn, most rifles are going to be into the second turn after 7 or 800 yards. Some even before that.
If you plan on "dialing" a lot of elevation, I would suggest look over on Sniper's Hide under the rifle scopes forum, for the thread titled SS zero-stops. They sell a shim-kit to build your own zero-stop for that scope. It is pretty affordable, and has the blessings of SWFA.
