[QUOTE="Miller Outdoors, post: 398487"] Millett Buck Gold 6-25x56mm AO This is it: [URL]http://www.midwayusa.com/viewProduct/?productNumber=110556[/URL] I've got this scope on a Savage .223 I bought it used. It's in good shape. It holds a good zero and it passes the box test. Clicks are distinctive and repeatable. I don't have experience with anything other than MOA, which apparently this scope is not. I'm puzzled. The problem is the numbers on the turret. Clicks are supposed to be in 1/4" increments, which makes sense because there are 4 dashes between numbers. The turret has 15 numbers in one full rotation from 0 back to 0. I've got it zeroed at 100 yards and plugged all ballistic info in Berger's software for the 68 grain BTHP bullets at 2880fps. I printed off drop charts in inches, moa's and mil's. I've verified this drop chart is accurate by cross checking it with JBM. Example: Drop chart shows trajectory at 350 yards is - 20.34", which is - 5.55 MOA. Went to my 350 yard target - dialed to 5.5 moa on the elevation turrent and didn't hit the paper - dust just below the target. ??? Dialed up to 8moa and POI was 8" below point of aim. Shot 5 shots and I have a wonderful little 1.8" group 8" below the bullseye. Clicked turret back to zero and went to 100 yard target and it's right on. Shot box test and it's right on. Any idea what the hell is going on? It can't be in MIL's because drop chart says the trajectory in MIL's at 350 yards is -1.61 ??? [/QUOTE]
