    I acquired a scope that I can't find any info on. I was hoping it might look familiar to someone here that could get me started on the right path. It does show .308 MOA, other than that it has no markings on it.
    Thanks in advance. 20181113_164528.jpg 20181113_164524.jpg 20181113_164528.jpg 20181113_164524.jpg

    I can't figure out the turret markings. Does the short one have the .251 moa & the .308 bdc on it? What does the longer one have on it?

    .251 MOA is windage change (4 clicks = 1 MOA) and the .308 marking is for .308 bullet drop compensation for the elevation change??

    Yeah, I get that, but it looks like they're on the same turret. Maybe it has a bdc reticle in it for a NATO 7.62x51?

    I know, but it looks to me that one is substantially longer than the other. If not, I'd guess that the .251 moa is for windage, and the other is calibrated for bullet drop.

    Thanks for all the ideas and help. Yall are right on. The top looks like wind adjustment at .251 and the .308 looks like drop, to me. The scope looks older than dirt to me, but the glass is surprisingly clear, to me anyway.
