[QUOTE="30-338, post: 190092, member: 10349"] [b].5 Moa[/b] If you will be counting clicks and getting your elevation come ups that way you must decide how fine you want your adjustment...keeping in mind that if you dial you must move the dial twice as far with the 1/4 MOA clicks. So it is a function of speed vs. precision and do you want to move the bullet 2.5 or 5 inches per click at 1000yards as has been said. Will you be doing more hunting or target? Lets say you are shooting at 1000 yards with your new Lapua at 2700 FPS and have a 300 yard zero...you will need about 24 minutes ( depending on elevation, etc...taken fron Sierra software) If you have 1/4 MOA clicks that is 96 clicks as opposed to 48 with 1/2 MOA clicks...so this might be an issue(?) US Optics will also give you the option of the lower vertical stadia line in the reticle having hash marks in MOA rather than mils so they will match your dial and you will not have to convert Mils to MOA ( a cool way to go IMHO)...Check out their EREK knob which is a very cool and fast way to adjust elevation...good shootin' 30-338...You will be spending some pretty serious cash here... have you checked out the Nightforce or the Schmidt Bender ? I use a combination of the reticle and the dial for hunting and it is pretty fast...congrats on the new rifle...choosing the right optics is a great problem to have. 30-338 [/QUOTE]
