    Bought a used 4-16x56 , CW non locking mil turrets. Got a few questions . 1st, how do I reset the turrets? 2nd , the windndage turret is marked in increments of 10 vs each, for example, where I would expect it to be marked 1 , it's marked 10 . Doesn't make sense to me .

    I believe that each click is 1cm so at “10” that would be 10cm at “20” that would be 20cm etc.

    While not the scope in question...I'll bet it looks like this.This I'm told is the European version...It is 1 cm..which translate to 1/10 mil..the pic above...3.4 mil...don't know about the turret reset though...

    To reset, unscrew the slotted screw on the top, pull off the turret and set back on at zero.
    The adjustment graduation is in .1 mils, at least my 3-12 was. Got pics somewhere but can't find them.
