Mounted my Team Primos Nikon today.

When checking the mechanical zero. I found that it had way more adjustment than the 55 MOA listed in the specs.Yippee

Can somebody check my math?

I counted 314 clicks from full up to full down and 310 clicks from full left to full right.

Clicks are 1/4 MOA ,so I figure I have 78 MOA elevation and 77 MOA windage .

now , this is a lot more than 55 MOA and I think is a good thing.

Can I rely on all of that being useable ???

I have not actually test fired and zeroed yet. Just boresighted.

Count your clicks after you establish a 100 yard zero.
