To what marks are you referring? The ones on the turrets or the parallax or something else?

Re: Anybody using Sightron S3 8-32x56?
You're not making it easy to help here. There are 3 increment and 2 turret options for that scope.
Is it a mil or a 1/4 moa or a 1/8 moa?
Tactical or target turrets.
And what part of the turret do you not understand?
Edit, if it's the 8-32 MD listed in your sig then it's either a 0.1 mil per click or a 1/4 MOA per click depending on which one you bought. The numbers (or taller lines) will have either 4 or 10 clicks between them. 4 clicks = a full moa or 10 clicks = a full Mil. You have 15 MOA of elevation per rotation of the knob. The marks on the tube tell you how many rotations from center you are.

It is 1/4 moa with target turrets. Thank you, what you said here is what I am trying to find out and learn how to use the scope effectively.
Starting to make sense now. 15 moa = full rotation. 4 clicks = 1 moa.
How you say (read) when it is, lets say, 12 and 3 lines?
Thanks Again!

12 3/4MOA
Do us a favor and read your instruction manual a few times.

Re: Anybody using Sightron S3 8-32x56?
Every hash mark is 1/4 MOA. Those are good scopes, now you just need to learn to use it. You should zero your rifle, shoot a 3 shot group in the center of a target, then make a few adjustments on your scope and shoot another group with the same aiming point in the center of the target, but notice where your bullets impact.

Mr TROLL, yes you... I appreciate your answer, but following it up by telling me to do "US" favor is a bit misleading and untrue.
First, Mr TROLL, you do not represent ALL of Sniper's Hide, so you have no right saying "US".
Second, this a a forum where people ask for help. If you dont want to respond to my question, then dont.
Third, Mr Troll I have my owners manual right here in my hand and NO where does it state any information about the questions I asked. So before you go tell somebody to read their manual, maybe you should read it yourself.
So Mr TROLL here is YOUR cookie. Move along

Thank You Head2H20
I have zeroed my scope for 100 yards. I made the "comeup" adjustments to 600 yards and have shot several matches now at 600 yards. I have been doing very well with this gun and scope combo.
Now I have a much better of understanding when making those adjustments to my scope.
Thanks again

Re: Anybody using Sightron S3 8-32x56?
How would you read this:
What is the 1 and 2 below the 0?
As is, this scope is zeroed in for 600 yards.

Re: Anybody using Sightron S3 8-32x56?
Markers that help you know which revolution of your turret your on. It can help you re find your zero if you have had to wind it out a couple times shooting extended ranges. Some scopes make it fairly easy to get "lost in the revs" because you don't know which revolution of the turret your zero is actually on. So if your zero is between the 1 and 2, make a mental (preferably paper) note of it. Then you know if you look down and the 1 is exposed, your on your 2nd revolution and you need to crank it back one full rev to be at your zero.
Notice -1 and -2 are exposed. You have a 0 line, then more positive numbers above it. However, if your really running a 600yd zero (why?) You won't be winding your turrets more that a rev or two past your zero.

With this gun, I do not plan on shooting anything less than 600yards. I shoot Midrange at 600yards, PALMA at 800,900,1000yards and Longrange at 1000yards.
Does the pictures read 11 1/4 MOA?

Re: Anybody using Sightron S3 8-32x56?
Understood, then your good to go. Just make note of exactly where on those lines your zero is, and it will keep you from over spinning to a point below your intended zero.
And yes, I read that as 11 1/4.
I may be ignorant, but I was under the impression palma was iron shooting only.

Re: Anybody using Sightron S3 8-32x56?
Not ignorant... at the club for Palma matches, they allow any optic, any rest. I know its not true PALMA, but for new long range shooters like myself, allows me to practice at those yardages.

If that is the range where you would like to zero it, then it's time to pop the caps off and align so that "0" is pointing towards you. This will help you keep track if you adjust it to different ranges, it gets bumped, etc.

Thanks bricktop... that is what I have done for my 600 yard zero.
