Thanks for your attention,
In returning to shooting, i found an early (1957-1964) Redfield Bear Cub 3x 9x 40 1” tube scope on an inherited Remington model 700. It drove me crazy at the range. On further inspection at home, the windage and elevation knobs do actually move the crosshairs in the opposite direction than what is marked. Up moves the crosshair down and left moves it right. The adjustments move smoothly, with no clicks, and there are 48 adjustments on the dial to turn it 360 degrees. Was this common on the early Redfield scopes?
Secondly, what are the thoughts on leaving this on the model 700, or putting it aside and mounting a newer scope. I target shoot right now.
Thanks
