I just mounted an EP5 over the weekend and couldn't get it to go far enough left to get zero. I mounted an SH4 to my short range hunting rifle and had no problems with this at all. I read a older post on here about a similar issue with the EP5 and was wondering if anyone had run into this with theirs?

Optically center the windage prior to setting your zero. Count your total clicks of your windage, and then take that number and divide by 2. Take that number, and count back from either the left or right limit. Then slip the turret completely off and reinstall it to zero. Then zero your scope again, that should fix the issue.
I mounted my scope on a Savage 6.5 long range with a 20 moa rail also so I can try to get to a 1000 yd with hand loads. I'm not having any issues with elevation just windage due to not being able to go far enough left. I bought the package that came with rings so I'm wondering if that might be the issue. I've got the same rifle in 300 win mag with different rings and scope and had no issues getting it in within 10 shots or less.
I have had no zero problems at all. My EP-5 is mounted with 34 mm picatinny rings extra high on a Ruger RPR rifle to clear the handguard. I was able to zero the bullet impact with in just a few clicks of rt to lt mechanical zero. Look on the internet about how to check your optical zero then check your mechanical zero. I found the EP-5 to be very close in rt to lt and up down optical vs mechanical. The Ruger RPR has a 20 minute rail so final zero leaves enough elevation to get to 260 yards with standard SK ammo.
