Marty, I think you are not quite understanding the index marks.
For long range shooting, you want to have either a 20 moa rail mounted on the action or use Burris signature rings which can have 20 moa built into the ring inserts. With one of those installed you turn the turret down 20 moa to get your 100 yd zero. This gives you more scope travel going up.
On the vast majority of target turrets, the turret sits over a post that has index marks on it. On my Sightron SIII 10-50x60 target dot (which I will be selling in a few days ), that post is marked -2, -1, 0, 1, 2. That is starting at the bottom of the post and going up. These index marks get covered by the turret as it gets turned down.
So with my 20 moa rail, my 100 yd zero is at the -2 index mark.
As an example, if the turret is on "3" and I can see the "0" index mark, then I am at 23 moa.

Are you a full time (7 days a week) warrior???? I didn't think this was a tactical/sniper site. I musta got "lost" too!

I have 5 Nikon 6,5-20x44 Monarchs, and they are excellent scopes, with excellent glass. The turrets track the dials perfectly. I'm not the only one that thinks they are fine scopes either... they sell for more used after being discontinued some time ago, than they did when they were new.

Yes actually i am.
