What are these scope dials for?
I have just received my Burris XTR scope and very nice it is too!!
I have not zero'ed it yet, other than the basic "look at a point through your bore and find it with the reticle" However, I have been familiarising myself with it's features. One such feature is that it has replacement dials for elevation and windage. The ones on the scope are a dial with 0-12 on it and little graduations in between. However, in little sachets, there are other dials that have 0-8 on one 180 degree surface, and then another 0-8 on the other half of the dial, both running in the same direction. What are thay for and do I need to change? Is these some milliradian vs MOA dial? Thanks.

Ha.... Fool!
Found the answer to my own question. Probably should have searched a bit more before posting.... They are apparently to make for easier click count adjustments when only a half turn or less, one way or the other is needed. Google is my friend. Thanks for looking!
