How far will Swaro Z5 get me?

Looking at Swarovski Z5 and wondering if this scope has enough elevation settings to get me out to 800 yards for common magnum calibers? Anyone put the erector to a test...is it tough and repeatable?

I see no reason it wouldn't with a 200 yards zero. My Z3 gets me close and has 13 fewer clicks if I remember.

I have the Z5 3.5 -18 X 44 on my 300 Win. I'm sorry but I don't have my data handy. I believe my 180 Accubond is at about 2980 FPS (200 yd zero with 26" barrel, 10 shot avg. through chronograph) and has the Outdoorsman custom turret on it. I run out of turret at 725 yds. I have enjoyed this scope. It seems to track well and is very light. The glass is good stuff especially for a one inch tube. This is the only Swaro scope I own but do notice the exterior finish is tough as nails when compared to some of the other scopes I have.

You could try a canted (say 20MOA) base to give you some additional adjustment.
