Yeah, agreed - but you’d still have a lot of elevation left even if you don’t have the full 32 MILS

Here is my real life example:
I was shooting some steel out to 525yd.
My scope is zeroed at 50yd. My dope with SK LRM ammo was 31MIL. I have a 20 MOA rail, and I was able to dial 21 MIL on the scope until maxed out. So I had to hold for another 10 MIL.

I wasn't able to go for 600yd target as I did not have enough elevation, and the reticle is maxed out to 16 MIL mark on the Christmas tree

If that scope had 32 MIL of total adjustment, it would give you roughly 16 mil usable in “up” direction. You add a 20 MOA rail which is 6 MILs, so that gives you 16+6 = 22 MILs to DIAL - and you have a 50y zero so may be using another MIL or two to get zeroed - so being able to DIAL 21 MILS sounds spot on - your scope allowed you to dial the total available.

While we are on the topic of DNT TheOne scope.
Does anyone know if 40MOA scope rail will allow to zero this scope at 50yd?

For a 32mrad elevation scope, generally the optimal incline is 60 moa to achieve full elevation travel while still being able to zero at 50.

Thanks Robby. I do understand the theory. And on paper it looks just what you said. But you know, some scopes get just part of their full range when you use the zero stop.

Only one brand of scope in the history of scopes was dumb enough to cripple their product with this behavior. As long as you avoid that brand, it is not a concern.
