Anyone here have any experience with these scopes? Just mounted one and bore sighted on my son's new Tikka 308. The windage and elevation is completely backwards...........Left is right and Up is down

Feces occurs. Heck, I had a S&B with that same affliction. They took care of it promptly...as I'm sue Leupy will do. Contact them. Good luck.

Are you saying the bullet moves on the target in the opposite direction to the arrow on the adjusters?

Bore sighting.............the rectile was low and left. I turned the elevation in the up direction rectile moved down. I turned the windage in the right direction and rectile moved left.

There is nothing wrong with the scope. The reticle must move down to make the bullet strike higher on the target, etc.

I got the understanding now......man I was confused!

i have one on my h&r 20 gauge and i love it. no problems at all, always clear.

I have four of these scopes, two 3-9x40s, one 4-12 and one 2-7 all mounted on muzzleloaders. They all have been great holding zero and nice and clear.

You are being given incorrect information. The reticle should be moved up and to the right to bore sight the rifle according to where the OP stated the reticle was on the boresighter when he began. You wouldn't go in the opposite direction and if the turrets moved the reticle as described by the OP, they are, indeed, working backwards. You always move the reticle in the direction you want the bullet to strike. If it is a normal 4 clicks to an inch at 100 yards and the bullet strike is 1" low and left, the elevation turret would be moved 4 clicks up and the windage turret would be moved 4 clicks to the right. A good example is the attached target I shot a couple weeks ago when I was working up a load for my .243 Sako that has a Leupold VX1 4-12x40mm on it. I turned the windage turret 4 clicks to the right after shooting the first fouling shot and the second shot was almost in the bull. Then I turned the elevation turret 4 clicks up and shot the 4 shot group. I'll reload some more because the accuracy is right where I want it. When I go back out with it I'll adjust the windage several more clicks to the right and the elevation turret up about 4-6 clicks to put the POI about 2 1/2 inches above the bull at 100 yards, which is where I want it for my antelope hunt in Wyoming.

After thinking about it you actually do go in opposite direction when bore sighting. If you look thru bore and fire a shot that's at the center of the target but looking thru scope is high and right. Make no adjustment. Now look thru scope at center of target if you fire the shot will be low and left.

Why are you making this so difficult? What you mentioned is not the way you use a boresighter or do it when looking down the barrel if it's a bolt action gun where the bolt can be removed! In either case you bring the reticle into the center of the bore sighter pattern, or bullseye if doing it without a gizmo, by turning the turret adjustments in the direction you need to go to get the reticle centered. If you don't have a bore sighter or can't look down the barrel to do that, or even if you do it that way, then take the gun out and shoot one or two shots at 25 yards to see where it's hitting. Then move the turrets to take the reticle up/down and left/right until the POI is where you want it in or above the bull. Then back off to 100 yards and make your final adjustments by shooting groups to see where the center of the group is and adjust the reticle accordingly. It doesn't really take a college degree to sight in a rifle!

It's done....Just making a statement. Some of us are not a smart as you

Geez Louise! If you didn't want the correct information why'd you ask? It's people that also go out and shoot three shots once a year before deer season, hit a paper plate somewhere on it and call it good, that drive me nuts, LOL! This is a target after a couple simple scope adjustments on a new Leupold I just put on a .243 Sako doing what I mentioned at 25 yards and then backing off further---8 of 9 that you can cover with a dime. I really apologize for knowing what I'm doing and won't try to answer any more of your questions you might come up with!

Topgun,

That ain't bad shootin'....................

You don't need to apoligize for that ! LOL :-)

Sheridan---That gun is a tack driver and why it was the only rifle Dad kept over the last few years of his life and said I couldn't have until he died. Unfortunately, he passed away last 9/11 five days short of his 89th birthday. I have been using 117 grain Hornady BTSPs in my Ruger 25-06 for antelope out in Wyoming. This year that little .243 Sako is going out there with 100 grain Hornady BTSPs as a tribute to Dad for getting me started back in 1952 when I was five years old. Thanks Dad and I hope you're watching from above when I put the smack on an 80" buck with it!!!

That's a beauty all right and the target speaks for both the gun & the "operator".

The best aspect of owning a rifle like that is the memories !!!

God bless ~ your Father should be very proud of his legacy.

Have the 3-9x40 plex on the omega and find this scope to be better than a prostaff, and comparable to the leupold 2. That's how is see it anyway's. I bought mine when they were 159.00. Now, they sell in the 200.00 range. Nice scope.
