What kind of turret knobs do these scopes have? Can I quickly adjust windage/elevation for long range shots?

The turrets are protected by screw on caps. Once caps are removed, you can easily adjust this scope. You can also get customized turrets to match your cartridge at http://kentonindustries.com. These turrets are taller than the OEM ones. One other suggestion is to get an Nikon ARD (anti reflective device) for the front of the scope. http://www.opticsbestbuy.com/NIKON-ard-NK739.html?relatedid=9099

Hey Joe, I beileve the turrets are just target type with either a 1/8" or 1/4" moa. Hope this helps you, I can say it is a great scope and you can't beat amazon.

The turrets can be reset to your zero once you find it, and each click on the turret is 1/4 MOA. However, the turrets are protected by screw-on covers that you would have to remove first. I believe that you can buy target turrets from Nikon that cover the threads while still allowing you to dial in windage and elevation on the fly if that is your preference. I scramble around in the bush so much with my rifle that I prefer the factory default. Your mileage may vary.

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.

There is no parallax adjustment. Only windage and elevation turrets and the illumination dial. If you haven't already bought it don't. Mine won't hold zero through the cleaning of my rifle. There is no direction marker on the turrets, you have to guess. Also the mil-dot is a gimmick. The dot size does not increase in respect to your target as you move up in power therefore you cannot properly use your mil-dot calculations to range your target. Scope rings are a little cheap too. Hope this helped.

The mount I received is machined from 7075 Aluminum bar stock. The existing stripper clip lug was removed to facilitate the rear attachment point on the sight mount. The two side receiver screws complete the mounting installation. At the range, could not get the scope to stay dialed in. The windage knob would move four to six clicks right and the elevation knob would move two to three clicks down after each shot. Sent the scope back to Aimsportsinc and upgraded. The violent action of the M1A was too much for the original scope but have had no problems with the setup in place right now. The mount is solid. Hope this helps. Cheers.

They're not adjustable. You can drift them left or right if you have a sight pusher. I wouldn't suggest using a punch to drift them. I'd worry about cracking the tubes.

Not sure I can do that. Depends on what you define as long range. I typically don't shoot beyond 100yds. Scope rests on a m1a. Ergonomics on scope are good. Glass is clear. More shooting needed.

These sights are NOT adjustable......They are FIXED sights. In a manner of speaking, one can "adjust" the sights for windage, but not in the traditional sense. Essentially, it is re-installing the rear sight, not "adjusting" it, as all one can do is uninstall the sight by loosening the set screw and shifting it to the right or left, then tightening the set screw and applying the Loctitie again. Re-install, NOT adjusting......

They could be mounted on the left side, but would have to be backwards. Elevation adjustments would not change at the front sight, windage adjustments would be backwards as far as the dial is concerned.

No the sights are not adjustable for windage or elevation. Why would you even need that for a handgun??? It's not like your going to be firing it from over 100 yards away.

I couldn't tell you because after the first outing with the scope, the crosshair knobs ceased to function. I didn't waste my time with it, I took a hammer to it and trashed it.

I'm fairly certain the rings it comes with are for picatinny. And if by adjustment you mean windage and elevation, i just use a penny in the slots, it doesnt have thumb knobs

Well they don't do much damage to your scope as far as I know. Yes you could but you might need different mounts.

No, afraid not. It offers neither of those features. Great scope, otherwise!

Great choice, they just quick clamp right onto a picatinny. No experience with a magnifier tho, but hand down the quickest acquisition of anything I've owned, even better than the acogs IMO

These are designed as back up flip sights. They are not your primary. Therefore they do not have elevation adjustments. Those must be done with your front sight post. Then you have to adjust your aim point depending on what distance zero you use.

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.

I realize that this does not answer your question exactly - but for the reasons below the turrets on this scope are effectively useless.I noticed that with this scope, you cannot rely on the consistency of the clicks on the turret - 1 click does not necessarily equal 1/4" at 100yds, it varies so it takes a while to zero. And it is not a stable adjustment either - by this I mean if you go 10 clicks left, then 10 right, your reticle will likely not be back to its original position. This is typical for low cost scopes - I find it helps to tap the scope a few times with something firm like the handle of a screwdriver everytime you make an adjustment, but you will not be exact even in this case.
