[QUOTE="Steve Shelp, post: 14186, member: 22"] IanM, Your normally right on top of stuff but your not looking at this correctly. If you have a 1" threaded rod with 8 pitch threads it's takes 8 revs to move a nut the whole length of the threaded rod which is 1" long. If it has 16 pitch threads you would simply turn the nut 16 time now to travel the same 1" length of the rod. It simply take twice as many "click" or revs to go the same distance. I use a NF 12-42, 1/8MOA model scope on my HG rifle and it still takes the same 25MOA +- to get zeroed at a match whether it has a 1/2, 1/4, or 1/8 model scope. It would simply take (50) 1/2MOA clicks, (100) 1/4MOA clicks, or (200) 1/8MOA clicks, but the bullet would still be raised up the same 25MOA to give me the same amount of drop. I do like the 1/8MOA clicks for BR work, but the 1/4MOA clicks are much simplier to calcualted in your head for true field work. I do agree with you on that. Steve [/QUOTE]
