I have always questioned why they put the windage knob on the right side of the scope. If it was on the left side, we (right handed shooters) could see it without moving your head. Was this another conspiracy concocted by the left hand elitest??

I don't know about a conspiracy, but is sure is nice for us righties to fine tune our focus with our left hand on the left turret while prone.

You can order it on the left from USO.....
I would guess that since most are right handed, your left is your support hand (holding the rifle up while standing )
having it on the right allows you to adjust while supporting the rifle.... just a WAG....

Tactical riflemen don't dial windage - they hold it.
And the parallax knob is of far more use than the windage knob.

Now I don't feel quite so guilty about my laziness in learning, and ignorance of, the magic of the wind!
