[QUOTE="pontoon, post: 1165587, member: 91473"] I'm looking at some scopes and trying to ensure they will go out to far enough range. One says max elevation adjustment 58 inches at 100 yards. Is this close to MOA? Like I guess an MOA is 1.047" at 100 yards?. If I use my ballistics calculator, it says I should dial 24.6 MOA up at 1000 yards for a 200 yard zero. If I change my ballistics calculator to show inches, it shows me up 258 inches. I'm not sure if this measurement corresponds to the 58 max elevation adjustment that the scope mentions. Another scope has a max of 55 MOA, so it sounds like that one would take me to 1000 and beyond given the atmospheric conditions I used for the calculation. Can anyone explain the difference between 55 inches at 100 yards of elevation adjustment vs 55 MOA of elevation adjustment and whether either or both can get my rifle to 1000 yards? [/QUOTE]
