Is there a way to lower my turret after i've found
No. The turret is what it is. If you want to re-set the turret to zero so that it is easy to return to for a specific distance, there should be a setscrew you can loosen, adjust the turret to zero, then re-tighten to lock it in place. If you are simply trying to lower the turret, you need to purchase a scope without target turrets.
Leopold VX11 power adjustment really hard to turn
Take the eyepiece off and clean out the threads with wd-40 or something like that, put on some fresh, light weight oil, a little, and see if it doesn't spin a little better. Sometimes the oil gets gummy and sticky. Hope this helps.
What is the distance between the center reticle
This area is about the size of the kill zone of your typical white tail deer, about 18 inches at 100 yards. Try with a paper plate out at 100 yards and see how it fits inside this part of your cross hairs. Or use a life sized deer target for reference. Then use go up in power to see it work.
I mounted a Mueller 8.5-25X50 AO Eraticator using
its all down to the mounts not being right for that gun, the frount of the scope is to hight up,
however if its shooting low get yourself a strip of 35mm camra film cut a fuw strips off and slip them under the eye end of your scope then nip the scope donw on the film strips, this will life the eye end of the scope up and raze the point of aim, done put more that 4 strips of film under your scope or you may bend the tube if you cant raze it with 3 strips its a new mount, sorry i do this for the guys at my club and on big rifles too, it wont shift or slip if its niped up
Scope is maxed out for adjustment, is till
if your scope is shooting low and you dont wont to buy a new set of mounts the only way to lift the point of aim is to pack out the eye end of the scope mount with 35mm film or a soft type of shim that wont scrach your scope i use 35mm film at its mostly water proof but there are other shims that do the same thing put about 25th of an inch under the eye end between the scope mount and the scope this will lift the "bell end" up and lower the point of aim there by rasing the impact point of your bullets dont over do this idear as if you go to far you wont get the turrets to drop the point of impact and you could also bend the scope, but 25th of an inch is not a lot but its over 10 inches at 100 yds with a .22 rim fire rifle
good luck shoot safely and good hunting
Will not work after dusk.Does NOT enhance any
I think you are a little mixed up with what a low light scope actually is.
If you look through a standard scope and a low light scope at dusk and compare the image, you should see a little clearer with the low light scope.
These are designed to allow you 10-15 minutes extra shooting time over a standard scope in low light conditions.
If you want to be sneaking round in the dark like snake from splinter cell, i'm afraid you have the wrong bit of kit.
You will need a Night Vision scope which use infra red and an image intensifier to amplify the light and convert it into an image that the human eye can see.

My Remington model 7400 semiautomatic 308 rifle
All Remingtons of this type have this problem burnt powder and oil mix to stop everything up but it is an easy fix, Remove the two push pins that hold the trigger group in and pull trigger and all out. put it in a container of kerosene and let it set over night take it out and clean it up good and put it back in. It should be good as new
As the scope is adjusted up or down, the point of
As the scope is moved up, the impact moves down. As the scope moves to the side the impact moves to the opposite side. First, set your elevation. A bench clamp is best. After you hit paper, adjust the hairs to meet the hole. Do this repeatedly, until the bullet hits where you aim.
How does the front base turn on leupold std
Are you trying to get the front ring to attach to the front base? If so... clamp the ring onto a 1"dia. x ~12" long wooden dowel. Set the ring into the base from the side of the weapon (90^ from the barrel). Making sure the ring is fully seated onto the base, turn the ring/dowel 90^ until the dowel is parallel with the barrel. The fit is quite tight between ring and base. Do not put the ring on and take it back off again as the fit will deteriorate.
* IMPORTANT * Make absolutely certain both the front and rear rings are exactly in line with each other before mounting the scope. You do not want to bend or kink the scope. There are tools you can buy, or... use a 1" dowel in each ring. Align the ends of the rods with slight turning adjustments to the front ring to get both rings pointing the same direction. The rear ring does not turn, only the front one.
Leupold Windriver Cascade 10x42 eyepiece jammed
Sounds like one of the eyepiece screws underneath the eyecup has come loose. The rotating eyecup is threaded underneath so it can rotate into up or down position on the eyepiece. If this is the case your Cascades are under warranty and it sounds like you should send them to Leupold to examine them. They are a very reputable company and I doubt they would put it down to user misuse if that isn't the case. Bear in mind that if you have been using them in the field and have had muck on them a small foreign object may have worked its way into the eyecup thread.
