cm not 1/4"

[Rich Coyle]

Recently I was stretching my .257 out to 600 yards. I kept dialing until everything was repeatable. It appeared the B.C. was way better than the factory claimed. After doing a little math I discovered instead of the scope moving 1/4" per click it is moving a centimeter! Sound information is always better than a guess. Anyone else having this with a European scope?

What brand of scope?

Did you have the rifle tied down for your test?

Azprc, the scope is a Swarovski.

Did you have the rifle tied down for your test?

No. I tried various shooting systems with a very accurate .22 rimfire. I found the most accurate system, at least for me, is to let the rifle slide in the bags. I did the test when I was alone and decided to do it again with a witness. I tried it again this morning. To me it is beyond doubt the scope moves in centimeters.

I'm sure that's what the shooters in Europe use in their scopes.

If the scope moves 1 cm at 100 meters, that is 1/10th of a Milliradian. That would be a euro standard.
