Turrets on the wrong side

[Underthegun]

Well actually they aren't technically on the wrong side. Yes the windage knob is on the right hand side where it is supposed to be. But I got thinking. Why are the windage knobs on the right hand side? This got me thinking one day when I was shooting my Alberta Tactical rifle and I thought to myself that it would be much easier to see my target turrets if they were actually on the left side of the scope. Has anyone ever wondered the same thing?

I believe they are available....made for lever guns i think?

Rotate the scope 90 degrees, then you can have the windage knob on the left side. (Elevation becomes windage, windage, elevation). Works nicely if shooting from a bipod or rest. Just don't get confused.....

Rotating only works if you don't have a side focus/parralax adjustment though. If you really want a turret on the left, I think your only choice would be US Optics, as they can configure your scope any way you like.

works great, except that most scopes have way more elevation then windage adjustments.. so chances of running out are greater.. not gonna be dialing up for those long shots with a sideways scope
