don't worry I am sure they don't sell many of them. the turret does that because it lifts up to reveal different markings that can be used for different conditions, kinda innovative if you ask me. when the knob is down, don't worry its not any bigger than the porky hubble telescope type scopes that are the rage around here. This scope should be FFP, and in so doing they would have to redesign the reticle all together. That is me saying that and I am a SFP guy and don't care for FFP for my uses.
the company is a little bassakwards and I even admit that. I own a 3-12 model. its an awesome scope, it tracks as it should, including passing a statically mounted tall target test. but I will admit I have some embarrassment about owning and shooting one, I actually cover up the name on mine. The name of the company is stupid. the logo is stupid. and their marketing is geared toward inexperienced shooters that they try to lead to believe that you simply just mount one of their scopes and presto you are a long range shooter. Their scopes are LOW optics japanese built. With that said most scope companies are just marketing companies and sell a scope to spec. Bushnell is no different neither is huskemaw. both scopes are made in the same factory, albeit to different specs.
