Guys - I have an old Busushnell Banner 6x-18 scope. I believe it is about 25 years old. Here is my problem. When trying to sight in my 223 using this scope I noticed I need to make adjustments. I took off the windage and elevation caps and there is the adjustment dials but there is no direction arrow to guide me whether I am adjusting left or right or up and down. Is there any "rule of thumb" which tells me which way to go?

Tks

I have the same scope,just looked. Clockwise is "down" and "right" respectivly.

I've seen scopes marked one way and actually go the other...the only sure way is to use a bore sighter and physically watch it move as you turn it, or to "fire for effect."

or go out, fire a shot, crank it ten clicks in one direction, fire again and check the hit. I make a habit out of "boxing" all my scopes at 50 yards before I commit to using that scope permanently. every scope I have will make a square with 2 hits on bull. Just sayin. it costs you 5 bullets and will ensure your scope is operating properly, AND it shows you which way the scope moves on each click.
