I recently got a Sightron SIII 8-32x56 with the MOA-2 reticle and MOA turrets. The elevation/windage spec for this scope is 70 MOA of adjustment. Sightron claims that the elevation and windage are optically centered by the factory. The one I got was at least mechanically centered with 39.5 (not a typo) MOA of adjusment both above and below the original factory setting. I set up a target at 500 yards and the clarity and focus all the way to 32x is excellent. My usual scope choice is Nightforce NXS and the SIII is its equal to my eye. I zeroed the scope at 100 yards on an AR-15 that has a tactical handguard. The scope height is 3 inches. I had to mount it with a high 1-piece base to clear the objective bell above the handguard rail. After zeroing, the scope still has 44 MOA of elevation travel remaining.
