Can anyone tell me if when you have to make an adjustment to a scope with the scope screws , If lets say you want to move Up ( don't matter what way up /down /lft /rt .

Lets say you need 2 clicks up , is it best to go up 3 or 4 clicks and then come back to the 2 clicks that you needed ? Just so the tension on the cross hairs is always going in the same direction ??

Hope this post is clear ? or don't sound dumb .

Yes it is the safest way to do it, 4up and 2back,I used to do it that way but now I dont anymore. I havent seen a difference though even at 50-60meters i adjust one way and then shoot and then adjust again if needed. I love shooting as far as I can with my Diana 54 or as far as space allows.

Yes, I do that also. It holds better its latest settings that way. I got the tip from the late Dick Thomas of PREMIER RETICLES.

"Four steps (clicks) forward three steps back, for every single step (click of change) in the crosshairs".

Thanks to all who have replyed to my inquiry about the scope screws.

Years ago when I worked in a machine shop ,when dialing in a setting I was taught to ALWAYS keep the tennsion / slop /free space etc . ALWAYS going in same direction .
