Hello everyone, i was seeing today a turret with this write, 1 click= 1 min, it's my first time when I see this, what does that mean properly? 1 click it's 0.1 mil at 100 meters? If someone can explain me I will be very thankful!

It means 1 click equals 1" at 100 yards.
1 what sir?
You turn the turret one click (in the direction of the arrow) every minute you are at the range. When you reach the hardstop at the end, you unwind the turret all the way 'til it stops (going the other way). Then you start over (assuming you haven't run out of ammo!). This keeps the mechanism inside of the scope properly wound.
Guys, your jokes are funny, but I'd give him the benefit of doubt. He's new to the site and from Romania. Which if you're in Europe you have probably never seen a scope with minute of angle adjustments.
Minute of angle is just another angular measurement. A minute of angle, in short form, is 1/60th of 1 degree of angle. In simple form, which isn't exact but probably close enough, 1/10 mil (.1 mil), which is scope adjustment you probably have seen, is equal to about 1/3 of a minute of angle, or 1 minute of angle is about .3 mil.
And diverdon is right, even here in the US, precision rifle shooters are mostly shooting scopes with mil scope adjustments and mil reticles.

What is Minute of Angle?
Minute of Angle (MOA) is an angular measurement, used often in long range shooting, that is 1/60th of one degree of a circle.
