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 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.
