[QUOTE="davewilson, post: 437982, member: 4491"] my question is are you really optically centering a scope by changing the turrets till the hair doesn't move when the scope is spun in the rings? the crosshairs are rigidly mounted. is this alignment a controlled operation to insure the hair is in the exact center? when changing the turrets, the tower is moving inside to change the direction light travels through in relation to the outside surface of the scope. if the crosshairs are mounted a little off of center, would it be impossible to center them by spinning? i'm of the belief that i want the turret more in the center when i'm shooting at distance. i realize this is easy when one is only shooting to 1k and much more difficult to impossible depending on how many moa adjustment one needs.
