interesting comment, with the next scope review I do, that feature is automatic. LOL not in a good way. I usually sight in my 200 yard zero a bit to the left at least a click for rigs I plan on stretching way out there. so I am kinda splitting the effect of this at 1000 yards.


That works, also. I am only getting about 0.4 mils of spin at 1000 with my 6x47L...but I primarily do it so I know my wind holds are true. Otherwise the next day, the wind could be blowing the same speed in the other direction, and I’d be wondering why the magnitude of my hold is different from before. I’m not saying it’s the right method, just making the point that the windage turret is sometimes used even though most people don’t hold wind.

But I wouldn’t bother doing tracking in the windage if the elevation is on. At most, just a return to zero test on it.

the fact you are even mentioning this shows a level of skill and knowledge,( rare around here) thanks for a productive comment. I have now tested a total of 3 scopes that demonstrate right reticle travel, as they are dialed.(2 SWFA's one vortex ) The interesting thing is this could actually be used to address spin drift automatically, LOL. well provided your barrel is a right twist. if its left twist, ummm bad! what are you doing to address Coriolis effect?
