Rifle Scopes HOW MANY CLICKS?

[1J04]

Probably another version of a question that's been asked a million times, but this one's mine

Gotta scope with 1/4" clicks at 100yds. Sighted in at 200yds. I'm right at 20" low at 400yds. How many clicks so I can hold dead on with my duplex reticle? And why if ya don't mind. What's the science?

1 click = .25" at 100, .5" at 200, .75" at 300, etc (.25" times each 100 yd increment), so at 400 its 1" per click, so you need 20 clicks up.

You might find it useful to think in terms of MOA. If you are 20 inches low at 400 yards, you need to come up 5 MOA. Since your scope adjusts in 1/4 increments, you will need to come up 5 MOA or 20 clicks. It is simpler to think in MOA, I hope this helps.

Don't count "clicks". Think in either MOA or Mils, depending on what your adjustments and reticle subtend.

If you ever shoot with a partner, it's much easier to call corrections in MOA or Mils.
