TURRETS
Turrets are used to adjust the bullet’s point of impact.
The Strike Eagle
®
1-8x24 FFP uses 1/4 MOA turret
adjustments on both the Windage and Elevation Turrets.
Each click will move the bullet’s point of impact
roughly 1/4" at 100 yards. The turret on the top of the
riflescope is the Elevation Turret,
which is used to adjust the bullet’s
point of impact up and down. The
turret on the right-hand side of the
rifle scope is the Windage Turret
and is used to adjust the bullet’s
point of impact left and right.
Turrets – Minute of Angle (MOA) Adjustment
Minute of Angle is an angular unit of measurement
commonly found in riflescopes. It is used to measure
bullet drop, wind holdovers, and for measuring targets.
Both the reticle and turrets will be laid out in specific
MOA values. 1 MOA equates to 1.047" at 100 yards,
2.09" at 200 yards, 3.14" at 300 yards, etc. Being
an angular unit of measurement, the inch value of
one MOA will increase/decrease proportionally as you
increase/decrease the distance you are shooting. For
this reason, think about all of your adjustments in
MOA, rather than a linear unit such as inches. If your
turret, reticle, and drop chart are all laid out in MOA,
adjusting your scope for the bullet drop or windage
corrections is extremely easy.

Capped Turrets
The Strike Eagle
®
1-8x24 FFP has capped turrets. This
protects the turrets from accidental adjustment while
out in the field, in transit, or in storage. You will need
to remove the caps prior to making any adjustments on
the turrets.
Note: The scope is still waterproof with the caps removed.
To Make Turret Adjustments:
1. Remove the turret caps by spinning
them counterclockwise.
2. Following the directional arrows, turn the dials in
the direction you wish the bullet’s point of impact
to change. (If you hit high, dial down. If you hit
low, dial up. If you hit right, dial left. If you hit left,
dial right.)
3. When finished adjusting, replace the turret caps.
Note: The reticle will move in the opposite direction of the
turret dials. When you dial up, the reticle will move down,
forcing you to aim higher, changing your point of impact in
the upward direction.
