[QUOTE="CBH Australia, post: 2962117, member: 116486"] I have a hunting scope with 10mm clicks equating to .1mil radian but I don't work in mils at this point in time. I am looking into long range scopes. I have a new in box Nightforce with 1/8 moa adjustment. My thinking is that fine adjustment like 1/8moa or .05mil is maybe for benchresy and precision shooting. Not dismissing long range shooting as precision but aiming on/off a plate or large target maybe the fine adjustment is not critical with so many other factors in play over a distance. Am I right in thinking that in benchresy shooting theat the fine adjustment allows more precision on a printed target? My reasoning is that my current target shooting is only at 100, 150 & 200 so small incremental adjustments might be beneficial close up where a V Bull gives you .1 of a point on a score and it's probably about .1mil radian in size proportional to distance. I understand that .1mil would be 10cm at 1000 and .05mil is just 5cm but I guesss it's whether you are counting hits and misses or decimals on the total score . Am I seeing this right? I am looking into buying one high end scope that will excel on my current comp ranges and be ideal for learning some long range skills. [/QUOTE]
