Rifle Scopes S&B Windage question

[pmclaine]

Of course I didnt spend a lot of time reading the directions on my S&B before fielding it afer all I am a hairy balled, American male.

Well my question is on the S&B windage turret does R and L reference moving impact of the bullet right/left or does it reference moving the reticle right/left?

My thought would be that turning in the direction of R I would move the bullet impact right but what I seem to be getting for my effort is a change in impact to the left.

This would tell me that turning in the direction of R moves the reticle to the right and I will move my barrel left getting the crosshairs back on my aiming point resulting in bullet impact left.

I havent had to play alot with windage at 100/300 yards but I will be shooting 600 on Tuesday. I promise Ill look at my directions at some point.

Thank you for your time.

Your adjustment should move point of impact, not point of aim. There is a corresponding arrow by the R and L indicating proper direction of adjustment.

If you have any questions please don't hesitate to contact me.

Thank you Mr Ricker.

I moved it correctly wanted impact to move right dialed turret in direction indicated by R arrow. My adjustments were small, .2 mil R, my resulting impact left was probably trigger operator error.
