[QUOTE="HarryN, post: 1182994, member: 69773"] Hi, this is probably an overly simplistic question, but I am hoping that someone can double check my math and understanding. In the MOA system: - 1 MOA = 1 inch at 100 yards, so - 1 MOA = 10 inches at 1,000 yards Since many scope turrets are 1/4 MOA per click, this is 1/4 x 10 inches = 2.5 inches at 1,000 yards. edit - Correction per ShtRdy - " 1 moa is actually 1.047 inches at 100 yards. That would be 10.47 inches at 1000 yards. And 1/4 of that is 2.618 inches." - thanks ____________________ In the Mil method: - 1 mil = 1 meter at 1,000 meters Since many scope turrets are 0.1 mil per click, then: 0.1 mil x 1 meter = 10 cm 10 cm x 2.54 cm / inch = 2.54 inches This is only 0.04 inches difference per click at 1000 meters?- (corrected, more like 1 inch at 1000 yards) edit - Correction per ShyRdy - "for 1 mil, there are 3.6 inches at 100 yds or 36 inches at 1000 yards. So 0.1 mil at 1000 yds is 3.6 inches." Is this calculation correct, or what am I missing? - edit - Thanks everyone for the corrections. Still surprisingly close (1 inch difference) at 1000 yards. That is far closer to each other than my current skills. Thanks Harry [/QUOTE]
