Is this Turret correct?

[TK161BOONER]

Hello guys, I recently purchased a Kenton industries custom turret for my Leica Magnus.
Anyway I received it today and wanted to know some thoughts, maybe I am wrong but does this dial distance look correct?
On the Leica Magnus scope the original turret say each click is 1cm and there is a total of roughly 120cm per full turn.
According to my turret I received today, this will allow me to dial to roughly 1100 yards with one complete dial.
Do this seem correct ?
I attached pictures of the specification for the turret order and the original Leica Magnus turret and the custom turret I received today.
Im not good with turrets and measurements, that my reasoning for ordering the turret instead of counting LOL.
What is your thoughts should this turret take me out to 1100 yards with in revolution? Im not looking to shoot that far, but I didn’t expect this turret to dial that far, so that is my question to see if you all thought it was correct.
Thanks for any help.

147 ELDM I have takes 9mils for 1K and that dial looks good to 12mils of adjustment so I’d think it’s at least in the ballpark of being capable of that. FWIW the 143 ELDX I have is 9.1mils to 1K.

This is what Shooter spit out with the box info:

I click = 1 CM but 5 clicks to 10 CM?

I appreciate the info from you guys that know this stuff better then I do…

Send it back for a refund and use moa/mils.

Custom yardage turrets are a gimmick. As soon as you run out of that lot of ammo, or as soon as the temperature, or elevation changes meaningly, your turret is no longer valid.

How do you do that when the Magnus is marked from Leica in cm?

 

[Kimber7man]

.2 mil per click or there’s a click in between the marks, I’m suspecting.

 

[BRTreedogs]

Install it and go shoot it is the real answer.

Sorry, just noticed that. Send the scope back too. Linear measurements do not belong on a scope, imo

 

[BRTreedogs]

It is a very confusing scope system.
It’s marked 1cm at 100 meters

You all know 100 meters and 100 yards are not the same thing.

It appears to be marked in .36 a tenth of a mile at 100 yards.

But you simply need to install your turret and shoot to verify it is correct.

On the factory turret , every click hits a hash mark and hits between the hash marks and so on, on the Kenton industries, every click hits a hash mark.

Ditch that abortion and get something that requires zero mental gymnastics.

That what the turret was supposed to do LOL.
I haven’t found better glass or illumination so that my reason for running a Magnus.

I’m not reading you correctly I think. So the factory dial does hit a click between the hash marks?

Woof.

Some wild answers in here.

The scope has .1 mrad adjustments and going up to 12 mrad (120 clicks) is going to give you plenty of elevation to adjust that far on one rotation, which is reflected in your custom turret.

My advice would be to read up on how scopes work a little more (theyre angular adjustments) and you'll see your changing the angle of where the scope is pointed.

Yes sir.

the Magnus is marked from Leica in cm?

1cm = .1mil at 100yds
(to be exact .1094mil = 1cm @ 100 yds)

.1mil per click and .2mil per hash mark.

10cm mark = ~1mil

120cm mark = ~12mil

As per my initial post it looks as though you should have enough in the turret to make it work. Go shoot it and see if it does and if they got it right.

Yes, the turret numbers look roughly correct but if you think it's going to be gnats ass that far out you'd be wrong lots of the time. I'm not sure how Kenton calculates density altitude but if it's warm out there's a good chance you will be well above 500 DA.

1cm = .1mil at 100yds
(to be exact .1094mil = 1cm @ 100 yds)

.1mil per click and .2mil per hash mark.

10cm mark = ~1mil

120cm mark = ~12mil

As per my initial post it looks as though you should have enough in the turret to make it work. Go shoot it and see if it does and if they got it right.

I'm sure you know but to ensure others aren't confused, 0.1 Mil should = 1 CM at 100 meters.

 

[TK161BOONER]

I am only looking to shoot 500 yards max.

 

[LongWayAround]

Put me in the custom turrets are a gimmick camp.

The factory cap is marked 0.36" @ 100yd. That's a 0.1 mil.

It's pretty easy to figure out your corrections to 500 yards. For me, the 147 ELD-M is right about 3.0 mil at 500yd. Spin turret and shoot.
