Bushnell Trophy XLT has it backwards

[Mint Hill Mule]

Started sighting in my CVA Accura Black Powder (Blackhorn 209) with the Bushnell DOA 250 that was boresighted. To make a long story short and after lots of frustration, it is sighted in at 100.

The L/R knob indicates Left is counter-clockwise, so that is what I did. Bullet moved more to the right with left adjustments. After 5 shots it was determined that a left adjustment actually moves poi to the right. When I got home I saw that every scope I own, shows a right adj is counter-clockwise. This one is marked incorrectly.

Has anyone had this problem?

Never had it happen with a scope, but I have a Simmons red dot sight with both the elevation and windage reversed.

Luckily I was putting it on a .22 so I was spared the frustration of dealing with it on a muzzleloader!

Yes, I did have that happen.
It was with a cheaper Bushnell 3x9.
It is mounted on one of my 22 magnums.

After figuring out what was happening, it
dialed in satisfactorily.
I found the clearest/sharpest power setting, around 6 or 7x, and
left it there. I do not like to turn the power ring, even on my Leupolds

If I need to adjust this Bushnell up or down, I will probably
forget and go through this again.

Talked to Busnell C/S today. Appears that they goofed on some of the turrets on the XLT. Correct ones on the way.

There are two ways to sight a scope.  You can shoot and adjust the bullet as you did, and you can shoot - then aim at the original target and move the cross hairs to where the bullet struck.  When using the later method, it will be backward from the first method.

 I like that method, you got to hold down the rifle real good with no play for that to work while you adjust the scope.
