Maybe this will help....

Hold your arm out fully extended and thumb pointing up.  Either will work, whatever your dominant arm and eye is would be best.  Place a 'target' on the tip of your thumb.  Now imagine your thumb tip to be the crosshair, and your arm to be the barrel.  If you want your point of impact to move to the right, which way do you have to tip your 'thumb crosshair' to make your 'arm barrel' go right?  The tip of your 'thumb crosshair' will HAVE to go left to force the 'arm barrel' right, and vice versa.  Same goes for elevation.  

It would be impossible for the scope to be broken in such a manner that things would go opposite what they should.  I really can't see a manufacturing mistake either, as they are all made from the same process; the turrets really couldn't be printed wrong, unless they were replaced at some point with aftermarket or homemade units.  

Just zero it and forget it.  I get told, quite often, I'm thinking about it too hard; I think you may be too.
