[QUOTE="BountyHunter, post: 202050, member: 12"] In the LR game it could mean a miss if you assume that just because your scope is marked "1/4 inch" or "1/4 MOA" that it really is that exact marking. Even the best ones do not always click exactly as marked! I have seen some all the way to .275 inches and that is more than enough for a miss at 1000. You need to do some serious testing of YOUR scope with a measured distance (say 20-30" )at 100 yds and see exactly how many clicks does it take to go that distance. You have to have the gun pretty well locked in so it will not move except the reticle as you make the adjustments. Second many scopes in going up a few clicks will not release the erector tube and go up as you are normaly taking tension off. So when you shoot you are low, but the recoil releases and then you click on a few extra and are now high. It is good practice to go past five clicks and then click back down to the exact spot. NF and SB are normally not prone to this little flaw, but Leups sure will get it. BH [/QUOTE]
