[QUOTE="woodnut, post: 1557107, member: 17593"] One more thing. On a scope with 1/4 MOA adjustments, 4 "clicks" equals 1 MOA. But, if you look at the dial, most good scopes have markings, hash lines, at the 1 MOA that's easy to see. Then, if you look again, you may see numbers at those points going around the dial. Last number is, say 20. That means the scope has 20 MOA of adjustments in one revolution. Then you dial another full turn, that's 40. Etc. till it stops turning. Having a zero stop when you have dialed up , say 34 MOA, and now you find a PD at 100 yards , or less, you simply run the dial back down til it stops...at 100 yds ( where you should zero it). Without zero stops, you can easily "get lost" as to how many turns and/or clicks you dialed down and where you were at 100. Does the word screwed come to mind? :( Hum, especially at my age! :) Hope this helps. [/QUOTE]
