[QUOTE="700, post: 17252, member: 674"] Do I sence the first seeds of discontent with the established order?? Perhaps/Pehaps not. I think it goes something like this. When you turn the elevation turret, it turns a screw which pulls/pushes the erector tube up/down. When you turn the windage turret, it turns a screw which pulls/pushes the erector tube left/right. The erector tube usually contains the reticle and so this is how adjustments are made. From a design point of view, the turrets are thus in their natural position. To have them the other way around would require a much more complicated assembly. I like your idea though. Rgds 700 [/QUOTE]
