Wow I purchased and installed the same scope on my 6.5 X 300 as the OP is having trouble with. I took a cow elk with it in November. But I will take the rifle out and give it a good look to see if reticle and turrets are off. I mounted it by leveling the reticle and never paid any attention to the turrets. Now my curiosity is killing me. I got to get it out and check.
