| Hello everyone. I just put a primary arms 4-14x44 ffp scope on my gun. I was bore sighting it and realized the arrows on the turrets are backwards. For example the up arrow points counterclockwise but I have to turn it clockwise to go up. The side to side turret is also backwards. This seems wrong to me but if I am wrong could someone explain the theory to me please. Anyone else have this experience? |

is it to adjust point of impact instead of point of aim? |
| Could you explain it to me please. I'm lost. If I am looking through the scope and put the first mil dot below the cross hairs on a target and I wanted to center the cross hair I should rotate my turret 10 clicks down right? If I do that with this scope it is backwards. I will add this is my first mil/mil scope. What am I missing here. |
| Ok. I had it in my head if you turn up the crosshairs move up. I never really looked at the reticle wile turning the turrets before, always shot and made the adjustment didn't think about how it got there. I should be shooting tomorrow so I will be back with some feed back. Other than overthinking it first impressions are good. |
| I got out to the range yesterday and sighted in my scope. This is my first mil dot scope and I was vary pleased with how quickly I was able to get on target. Only had to make two adjustments to get to the center of my target and If I would have made my calculations right the first time it would have only been one adjustment. I am very impressed with the scope so far at its price point. I didn't get a chance to check the tracking on this trip out but I will on the next. My brother in law had his ar 10 out there with a Nikon AR308 4-16 on it and I can tell that the Nikon is of better quality but I would have still got the same scope I did. Shooting both guns with the two different scopes I prefer the mil dot reticle over the bdc and the FFP vs SFP. I would have had no problem spending a little more money but the primary arms scope I got was the only mil-mil scope I could find in a ffp that was under $600. We will see how it holds up over time but for now I'm happy. |
