I believe the nightforce compacts have a clockwise power up throw. They have a very handy throw lever. I don't own one anymore, 2.5-10x32 simply because the glass kinda sucked by todays standards. But it was a very very handy flick to bump up the power with that clockwise turn and lever being on the left side of the scope. my zeiss v4 runs counter clockwise to increase power. for me being right handed I prefer clockwise.
