Several weeks I acquired a Meopta Meopro 3.5-10x44 and so far I really like it. Tremendous scope. However, what's up with the elevation dial? I have never seen a elevation dial marked "U or R" for up and down.

It is so the dial for windage and elevation are the same part number and interchangeable. The U is for up, and the R is for Right. Simplifies things in production/assembly.

I've seen this comment before & I don't understand why people continually harp on the U & P markings on both the elevation & windage adjustment knobs of the current Meopro line. It's simply a cost saving measure that allows production of one rather than two differently marked parts.

You have to be pretty slow on the uptake if you can't figure out the top turret is the elevation & the right side turret is the windage.

I'm more bothered by the cheap looking plastic turret caps that will probably crack eventually like all plastic stuff that has any stress on it.

Nice scopes for the $$ though

If post like this cause you some sort of "heart-burn" there's always the option of not replying... I didn't ask "which one is the windage and elevation". I will agree however that the plastic caps are kinda cheap, but they are not hard to replace. Amazon has aluminum ones

High Octane :: Took a little while but I finally figured it out ..It is confusing at first so I stuck a label maker 'v'' in top cap and an 'h' in side....Helps in not confusing the two...I have the 6x42 MeOpta #4 and love it...Hope this helps
