I mounted a new scope (Nikon Buckmaster) on my Savage .223 earlier in the week and took it out to the range after work today to get it sighted in (I also installed a new heavy barrel). I did not laser bore sight it like I normally do as the batteries were dead and I did not have any of the tiny things on hand. Anyway, I couldn't for the life of me get the thing sighted in. After 2 boxes of ammo I figured out the problem...the dials were installed backwards. When I clicked it expecting it move the POA right, it went left and up was down. After figuring that out, it was a piece of cake and was punching 3/4" groups at 100yds.

Anyone see this before?
