[QUOTE="Song Dogger, post: 1335430, member: 101648"] First, I was wrong in that Swarovski’s turrets are either ¼” or 7mm in 100 yds. It’s 7mm in 100m, which is essentially equivalent to ¼” @ 100 yds. Duh. Still, the lessons in math, trig, and simple ballistic concepts are unnecessary. Guess what I really need are better writing skills, because I don’t have two instruments suggesting differing firing solutions. It’s about two different ways to measure the same firing solution – clicks using ¼” @ 100 yds versus ¼ MOA (I did not put a distance on the 1/4 MOA because I realize 1 MOA is 1 MOA at 100 or 1000 yds!). Mostly, I was looking for verification on how to calculate clicks from hold since I couldn't find an online solution to chart that. I think I got that verification, though, especially since the formula I used could accurately predict the Geovid's readings in "clicks" from "hold" on the same target. I was also expressing some surprise at the difference between click values at longer distances using 1/4" @ 100 yds versus 1/4 MOA turrets. All this stemmed from comparing the Geovid firing solutions to a ballistics chart, which I wanted to validate before heading to the range for testing. That’s the best point made, by the way, that actual test results are the “final answer” – not just for the Geovid, but to validate Swarovski’s reputation for click repeatability/consistency, which is more important than ¼” @ 100 yds versus ¼ MOA. I’m ready to do that now, so let the fun begin! [/QUOTE]
