[QUOTE="varmintH8R, post: 1105182, member: 39801"] Geo, Thanks for posting that. After Greyfox posted I went to the Huskamaw website and noticed the same thing. My first reaction was the same - deal killer. But then I started thinking about my own shortcomings. When I started shooting more seriously, I wanted 1/2MOA groups at 100 off the bench. Then at 200. Then I realized (with some LRH guidance) that was useful for proving loads, but not practical for field use. Now I spend most of my time prone, and my most convenient practice range is 200 yds. My "good" rifles will shoot 1/2MOA groups - BUT - shooting single shot / cold bore the best I am (currently) capable of is about 1/2 MOA from point of aim. This is "Max miss" minus called flyers, not on average, because average doesn't really matter to me in field conditions ... So getting hypothetically out to 1K yds, the maximum (worst-case) difference in fidelity between 1/4 clicks and 1/3 clicks is 0.88". That's about as good as I am capable of holding "every time" vs POA at 200. I'd prefer 1/4 clicks because that is what I have on everything else. But it's not a deal killer for me....until my skills improve dramatically. [/QUOTE]
