Rifle Scopes S&B CCW? or CW?

[Pleistarchus]

I am purchasing my first S&B and I've narrowed it down to a PMII 5-25 DT P4 Fine reticle. One option that I've noticed they have, that I haven't seen other scopes offering, is what seems to be the turning direction of the turrets "CCW=Counter ClockWise" or CW "ClockWise". Can anyone explain the purpose, benefit of either one. I am a lefty, in case this has anything to do with that. Thanks, Chris

US shooter: generally CCW
Europe et al... generally CW

There are exceptions to everything...

CCW is typically seen on scope made and/or sold in the USA. CW is European. If it means anything to you resale is slightly easier for CCW here in the US.

Being a Lefty you might feel a benefit with CW turrets. Good thing if you can try both and decide. Many people like to have all their scopes the same.
