My point was to start basic , i really didnt want to delve into mil dots and how to figure them now , Click adjusments are usualy labled , and not only fairly close , but reasonably repeatible for short range hunting . The art of riflemanship wont be learned in any book , or with the first rifle frankly .. To me its about have fun while you learn . As with handguns and ccw , the finer points that makes compentance
come later . Its enough on anyone to start a new firearms dicipline , dont overwhelm them with extra crap till the crap is usefull .

and it doesn't make you look stupid... because you have no clue. If a person has no clue about something it doesn't make them stupid. it just means they don't have a clue. The only question that should make someone look or sound stupid, is the question they refuse to ask anyone. then you will be stupid, because you want to know how to do it... but refuse to ask anyone to teach you.

If this is the case your scope is mounted improperly or you are shooting a truly cheap scope , and i shoot some 70 buck scopes , so when i say cheep i mean it lol .

I have a cheaper scope, andmy dad has a burris that cost $350 almost 30 years ago that he has on his rifle. Both scopes, when you turn the elevation dial clockwise bring the crosshairs up. That will bring your shot down, because you will then lower the gun a bit to get the crosshairs back on target.

The arrow on the burris points counter-clockwise and it says UP so if you turn it counter-clockwise, it will move the crosshairs down.. making you move the gun up a bit to bring it back on target. that's going to bring your shot up.

so a cheaper scope, and a good scope.. both are operating the same way. If yours operates differently than that.. then it clearly points out what I was trying to say... some scopes may operate ass backwards from another.

edited to add... I may have misread what you were implying. are you assuming that I said adjusting the elevation dial clockwise will bring the crosshairs both up.. and right together? if that's the case, then I need to clarify what I said. I meant that turning the windage dial clockwise will bring my crosshairs right.. and the elevation one clockwise will bring the crosshairs up.
