[QUOTE="SBruce, post: 701701, member: 21068"] Sure, just set up a tall piece of cardboard with an aiming point on the lower portion of said cardboard. Set it up at exactly 100 yds. Not 90, not 110, but 100. Shoot 2 shots at the aiming point. Dial your scope up 5 or 10 moa. Let barrel cool. (Make note of how many clicks you dialed.) Shoot 2 more shots aiming at the same spot as before. Dial your scope up another 5 or 10 moa. Let barrel cool. Shoot 2 more shots aiming at the same spot as before. Now, measure with a tape how far the top group is above the bottom group. Measure how far the middle group is above the bottom group. If you dialed the same amount each time you did it, the distance between the middle and top groups should be the same as the distance between the middle and lower group. Now, finally take the total inches of separation and divide that by the number of clicks you dialed in your scope. This will tell you the "inches per click" in[U] your[/U] scope. Dial back down to where you were before the test and shoot again at the original aiming dot. Your final group should be right where the first one was if your scope is returning to zero properly. Good Luck [/QUOTE]
