    windage/elevation adjustment orientation

    If I rotate a scope 90 degrees counterclockwise, would the windage/elevation adjustments rotate accordingly? So cc is normally up and right. After rotating the scope, the elevation screw would now be windage (cc left) and the windage screw would be elevation (cc up). Sound correct?

    No because you've already compensated for the hight over bore

          After rotation...

          up becomes left
          right becomes up

          To confirm draw a cross hair on paper with up and right arrows, then rotate 90 degrees to convince yourself. I'm guessing you are a lefty and that is why you are planning this?

            Its a common problem solve when ejected brass hits the elevation knob and bounces back into an open action, mostly on bolt guns.

              I'm doing this on a cheapo red dot and a mount that only fits if I rotate the scope 90 degrees.
              Thanks for the responses; I just had to confirm that this would work.
