[QUOTE="Jon A, post: 337150, member: 319"] Over the years I've seen numerous reports of some Leupolds being 1/4" and some being 1/4 MOA and some being something in between; I had an IOR marked 1/2 MOA that measured .45 IPHY; a few years ago there was some confusion here among Nightforce owners who thought the clicks were 1/4" but were really 1/4 MOA; I believe USO will make them either way; there are numerous examples of scopes that have one thing marked on the turrets but say another thing in the user's manual.... As you can see, it's sometimes confusing figuring out what your scope [I]should[/I] be, but even if you do that manufacturers all have tolerances so just because your scope is [I]supposed[/I] to have a certain value of click doesn't mean it's perfectly accurate. That's why I tell people to measure. You never really know until you do. It's not hard. Knowing exactly what you have is well worth the peace of mind. [/QUOTE]
