[QUOTE="Kyle_freemason, post: 306199, member: 19808"] Recently, I purchased a scope that has 1/8" click turrets and intend to use it for punching paper. Instead of creating my dope chart using clicks, I would like to create it using MOA as this is obviously much quicker than counting clicks. My turrets have MOA markings. My question is since I have a 1/8" click say my drop chart says to input 6.8 MOA how would I do that considering 1/8" does not equate to 1.047. I created wrote a chart which looks like this: [FONT="]1 click = .125 MOA [/FONT][FONT="] 2 clicks = .250 MOA 3 clicks = .375 MOA 4 clicks = .5 MOA 5 clicks = .625 MOA 6 clicks = .75 MOA 7 clicks = .875 MOA 8 clicks = 1 MOA [/FONT] So for the 6.8 MOA I would input 6 MOA and then another MOA, however I think by doing it this way I would fall short of the true adjustment I would need in elevation due to the fact that I converted not using 1.047. Another example, I was told to dial 3.3 MOA into the scope so I turned the turret 3 MOA and then divided the 3 after the decimal point by 8 to get .375 which in my chart above means I would dial in an additional 3 clicks. Will this work or am I converting 1/8" clicks to MOA incorrectly? Kyle *******After writing this I had a idea hit me, I wonder if I had 3.82 MOA if I could not dial in the 3 MOA and then the 82 is 82/100th of an inch so to convert that to 8th's since that is what my scope turret it set for (1/8" clicks") I did the following: 82/100 = ?/8 which would be 6.5 more clicks past 3 MOA and rounded up would make 3.82 MOA equal to 3 MOA and 7 clicks. However, this still for some reason does not seem as if it would work since I am converting using whole inches and not 1.047" = 1 MOA. [/QUOTE]
