[QUOTE="Bravo 4, post: 1115214, member: 8873"] I googled Nikon Prostaff XR turret and got this picture. If you notice under the turret there are horizontal lines. Those are index lines, and some have numbers. If you turn the turret up you will notice more lines appear and if you turn the turret down you will notice they disappear. Those index lines are there to help you keep track of how many times the turret has been turned. After zeroing my scopes I take a sharpie and make on note for what index line is visible from the shooters perspective. I usually do it on top of the rear scope ring or on the scope tube itself behind between the turret and shooter. As an example I'll put "BL-2" as in base line 2, base line means "starting point" or zero. This allows the shooter and spotter (when available) a quick glance to see where the scope is compared to it's zero. [/QUOTE]
