N,

Based on the several Redfeilds I looked at before I bought mine and the 2-7 I have in hand, the adjustments seem to work fine in both directions.

It is very tough to make a TRULY compact turret adjustment with Truly crisp clicks with a coil spring/plunger setup used on modern scopes.

The old "V" leaf srpings used in the older click stop Weavers for example were/are as crips as glass- very, very distinct. And the leaf spring design they used is very compact. The problem is no modern engineer will use a leaf spring if he can use a coil spring.

To get a large enough coil spring to provide enough tension/crispness, it requires a larger, taller turret than what is on the Redfeild,IMHO.

Heck, I have seen Target scopes with well respected names and high price tags that have clicks no more crisp than the Redfeilds.

And Like I said, judging a $130 US made hunting scope by Target /Tactical requirements is not exactly logical.
