Scope windage and elevation adjustments are opposite of normal.

I may sound Like an idiot, but I'm going to ask anyway. I have a

NcSTAR Ultimate Sighting System Gen II 3-9x42mm Rifle Scope w/ 1x Micro Red Dot Sight. The windage and elevation adjustments are exactly opposite of all the other scopes that I've used. When I contacted NcStar support, they told me that there is no standard way for a scope to adjust.​

Below are the instructions from the manual on zeroing.
ZEROING YOUR SCOPE

Figure 4

Your Mark III Tactical Scope is equipped with adjustment
turrets for Windage and Elevation. The Elevation Adjustment
turret is located within the Bullet Drop Compensator (BDC) on top
of the turret housing. To access the Elevation Adjustment, remove
the slotted Elevation Cap on top of the BDC by using a thin coin or
a flat blade screwdriver.
 Turning the Elevation Adjustment Counter-Clockwise will move
the crosshairs Up, moving your bullet impacts Down. (Fig. 4).
 Turning the Elevation Adjustment Clockwise will move the
crosshairs Down, moving your bullet impacts Up.
Replace the Slotted Elevation Cap once you have made all
necessary adjustments.

The Windage Adjustment turret is located on the right
side of the scope body. This Windage Adjustment is an open
Target style turret for ease of access (Fig. 5).
 Twisting the Windage Adjustment Counter-Clockwise will
move the crosshairs to the Right, moving your bullet
impacts Left.
 Twisting the Windage Adjustment Clockwise will move the
crosshairs to the Left, moving your bullet impacts Right.

So am I completely confused or are these adjustments just not corrrect?

There is no requirement for the adjustment to be that way, so the chinese garbage maker went with what's convenient as per usual arrangement. Junk the tacticool looking garbage. It's not worth your time, money, or ammo for any rifle. .223, 22lr, airsoft, doesn't matter.

Optics selection notwithstanding from the instructions it reads as if it has clockwise adjustments, which is pretty common with optics outside of the US.

You just confirmed what I was thinking. I just wanted to hear it from someone else. I'm sure not gonna get any satisfaction from NcStar. Time to cut my losses and get a decent scope.

On higher end scopes, one can specify the direction the turrets turn. This is personal preference. There is no “wrong” way.
