MOA and me

Its all a linear relationship.

If you're zeroed for 100m and know your bullet drops 2" (easy math) by 200m, you need to adjust your scope 1MOA up

1 MOA@ 100m= 1 " (roughly)
1 MOA@ 200 m= 2"
etc
etc

So say you're shooting at 500m and you know your bullet drops 60" by 500m, you need to adjust 12MOA up (48 clicks on my scope 1/4moa clicks)

does that make sense?

If I shoot and miss something by 2 inches at 200 yards I click my scope (1/4 moa) 8 clicks to adjust right?

If I miss by 10 inches at 1000 yards does that mean i click it 32 clicks? Does the scope even allow for that many clicks?

I know this is probably a really dumb question, its just that I don't own a scope yet and have never really handled one. I have the rifle (r700) but I have to wait a bit before I get the scope.

no. if you are off 2" @ 200yards, you are 1moa off axis, and require an adjustment of 4 clicks (1/4moa per click).

10inches at 1000yards too, requires 4 clicks as well as you are 1moa off axis
 
You need to spend more time on the range with senior shooters and less time on the keyboard. Join your provincial rifle association and shoot on the weekends. They shoot from 300 to 1000 yards.

Soon you will be cranking on 3 or 6 or 12 minute eleveation changes for the different distances and setting 3 or 7 minutes of wind deflection like a pro.

It is not difficult. By age 10 my son could look at the flags and estimate how many minutes of wind were needed for his 308.

My daughter just turned 8 and she has also caught on to the adjustments.
I ask her for the windage and elevation adjustments before each shot. Amazing how fast some kids catch on to mathematics.
