Thread: not enough elevation in scope

Even worse than the Burris is the older Bushnell Elite 4200 in 3-9x40, 4-16x50, 6-24x - they only have 26 MOA of total elevation adjustment (13 up or down from mechanical center). So it would not be the scope to buy if you have any thoughts of long range shooting. I had mine (4-16x) mounted in Burris Signatures with +/- inserts.

Bushnell Elite 4500 series (basically a re-furbish of the 4200) has 40 MOA of elevation adjustment. While for about the same money second hand, you could get a Bushnell 3200 5-15x40mm Tactical Mildot, and get 46 MOA of adjustment.
