Sighting in question

[A. F Medic]

We all know that 1 click at one hundred yards is equal to 1/4 inch. How about at 25 yards? I had to click 20 times before I had any movement. What was a click there,1/16 of a inch?

Doesn't matter. Just run it up until you're where you want to be...I guess it would be 1/4 of what it would be at 100...

Like BAR said wind till you hit the mark you want, best to zero at 100 as it may not extrapolate correctly at 25 yds also could you please explain to us not too wise a pelicans "We all know one click is 1/4". " my March scope is in 1/8th's where as a No.4 back sight I think 1 click on elevation is 1MOA or 1" @ 100yds

Or are we singing that time remembered song from Aussie land "Click go the Shears Boy.....!"

I dunno nuttin. Especially as regards sight adjustments. Until whatever aiming device is actually tested! Plenty of "1/4 MOA" clicks on scopes are actually closer to 1/3 MOA. Then there's 1/8 MOA, 1/2 MOA, and 1 MOA adjustments, supposedly, in various scopes. Iron sights can be about anything. Especially generic units that can go on barrels (and sight radii) of wildly varying lengths!

But, yes, a 1/4 MOA adjustment should give very close to 1/16" movement per click at 25 yards.

If you are having this problem with an old scope (you didn't specify) you sometimes need to sharply tap it after such a change. In my limited experience with scopes I have found that old crosshairs assys sometimes tend to stick.

Another old trick is to go a couple of clicks past where you want to be then click back to the intended point say you need 4 clicks up then you go 6 click up and then back down 2 sorta go past and come back again, Some BR Nightforce scopes it pays to wind both E/W all out and all in at times to ensure you do not get memory de tent the NXS with the titainium spring sufferers no memory loss
