I notice there is 3 turrets on this scope. Windage, Elevation... what is the third turret for??? Side Focus?

Correct . . . focus/parallax adjustment. And what looks like a turret at the rear is the reticle light adjustment. Very nice scope- the low end 2.5X makes it good for tactical use and the 10X is all I need for longer range.

The turret on the left side is to adjust for parallax. The practical use of it for most shooters is to adjust the focus for the distance at which you are aiming, but it also helps to eliminate aiming errors by making the image from the objective lens coincide with the reticle.

It is a parallax adjustment. Here is a link with a great explanation and demonstration of parallax.....http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JrFj2zR0mdI

It focuses the scope and adjusts the parallax. As the magnification increases the aim point can shift. Typically below 3 to 9 variables the manufacturer averages the parallax and that is good enough for hunting accuracy a between 50 to 250 yards. Wider variability and increasing accuracy demands or longer distances make it necessary to provide a parallax adjustment.

I recall that windage is on the right side. Did you remove the adjustment cap? The top knob is the ballistic turret and it only has five clicks to make range adjustment 100 - 500 yards, after you have accomplished 100 yard zero. Adjust the laser after you zero and tune the laser to be 1 1/2" under 100 yd crosshairs. Laser is only good in low light to maybe 40 yards. Good luck, I love mine.

Hi KC,Sorry l gave you the wrong scope info for one of my three ones. The one you are asking about has top, left and right mil-dots. I would send a picture but don't know how. Sorry about that. It is a great scope.

Yes, It does have a side focus. I have it mounted on a Savage 110 338 Lapua. I grouped it at 400 yards, within a 1 foot radius. Great Scope!!

Mine was fine.... I used a bubble level on top turret. I love the scope. No problems. Scope is a bit big. I even put a shade on it. Im using a warne mount. 16 fluted target barrel. im shooting quarter(coin) sized groups at 100 yards.... but no issues with retical tilt or slant. about 200 rounds in so far...Hope this helps...

That's probably a misnomer if you read it somewhere. There is an adjustment screw for windage & another for elevation.The sight slides on the pistol rail and has 2 clamping screws, so you can position it where you want it on the rails - this might have been the third adjustment! A tip from the owner of the local gun range - rather than set the elevation to a particular distance, adjust the sight parallel to the bore. Then, knowing the vertical distance from bore to sisht, whatever your range, the sight is always that distance below your target point.

M.F.I really don't need to answer your question as the other readers have answered it very well. All I can add is that for the money, it is a nice scope that holds it's center on all my rifles that I have it on (3). That being said, I should mention that I have bought 3 of them.Take careHenry

These levels aren't used on the barrel. One is used in the receiver to get the receiver itself level and the other is used on top of scope's turret or turret cap to get the scope level. Each is held in place with a magnet. I'm not quite sure what you are asking.

It's .11 dovetail. The scope can be OK or complete junk. You definitely should upgrade the scope mounts, imo.

jmich; Like you, I certainly was not trying to be glib. I just did not encounter the problem you did. I do have one idea, though: The scope comes with two eyepieces. One of the eyepieces is useful, but the other one I found useless. The target could not be centered or even seen. Hope this helps.J

The turrets on a rifle scope are the protrusions that house the adjustment wheels of the scope. ie; up and down --- left or right. For protection, they are covered with a screw cap. The annotations denote how far the adjustment is. Generally, one "click" of correction results in the movement on a target at 100 yards equals a quarter of an inch.

There are not three adjustment screws, only 2. One is for windage (side to side or left to right) and the other is for elevation (up and down). If you look at the 5th picture at the description page (http://www.amazon.com/Mini-Red-Laser-Sight-OTG/dp/B009PP6WAS) you will see exactly where these screws are located. They are very very sensitive so do not move them very much. Shoot the gun at a target at close range using the laser, see where it hits, then adjust accordingly to get the point of impact on the target from where it hit to the center. In other words, if your shot is 2 inches low and 4 inches to the right of dead center, adjust the elevation up (clockwise) very slightly and to the left by turning the windage screw (counter clockwise) slightly. Take another shot after you have adjusted the sight and see where it is now hitting. Repeat this process until you have it "dialed in" and hitting the bulls eye. This sight is a very accurate piece of high technology, treat it with respect and you will be very pleased with the results.

It looks like there is a dovetail in front of the rear sight. You could mount a red dot. However it would move with the the slide when you cock the gun..not sure how accurate it would be..its more of a 'fun gun' for short range tin can plinking..

there is an elevation and a windage adjustment just like any other optical sight. the description is wrong.

I had no issues with mine. I have had that issue with other rifle scopes. I lightly tapped on the turret with my multitool. Sometimes reticles get stuck. Lightly tapping will jar them loose. If that does not work...exchange it.

Yes for Windage and up and down adjustment. Have yet to see them move. Super nice scope. Or the money you get a lot with this optic. Big but awsome look. On my m&p10;

The sight is designed to be flipped over to increase range. Remove the site from the mounting bracket, flip it over, and re-mount, now you'll be a high :) Happy shooting.
