Gecko, is that you?
So jmr. what i am saying is when i adjust down the cross hairs move up.and when i adjust right the cross hairs move to the left.I have yet to fire a shot with these weapons.Im just wondering if anybody has had the same issues at any time.I've had scoped rifles for 20 years and never seen an issue such as this one.Thanks for your input tho.
It is not a problem. Different scope mfgs are setup differently. Some move the crosshairs right when you adjust right, which actually shifts point of impact left. Others move the crosshairs left when you adjust right to move your POI left.
Just different schools of thought in design. Nothing is wrong, just understand how your scopes function and go shooting.

That is exactly how the scope should work. When the scope is mounted on the rifle, to move point of impact upward, the horizontal bar of the reticle moves down. That causes the rifle to be pointed higher to raise point of impact. I'm really surprised Nikon didn't return the scopes with a no test failure statement.
