Scope Adjustments To move the impact by 4″ at 100 yards, you will need to make 16 clicks (161/4″ = 4″). Essentially, you need to make 16 clicks to move 1″ at 25 yards. Note: If you're on a 20-yard range, you'll need to make 20 clicks to move 1″ at 20 yards. 1″ at 20 yards is actually 5″ at 100 yards (100/20= 5).

Zero at Closer Ranges If you are a New Shooter If your scope uses 1/4MOA click and it takes four clicks to move an inch at 100 yards, it will take eight clicks at 50 yards and 16 clicks at 25 yards.
1 MOA increment at 200 yards is 2″. 5 of those 2″ increments fit into the 10″ of adjustment needed, so a 5 MOA adjustment is needed. 4 clicks on the scope equal 1 MOA.
If it is higher, then go downward by rotating the turret clockwise. With windage, it is similar: if your point of impact is too much to the left, go right with a counterclockwise turn. If it is too right, go left with a clockwise rotation.
The most common issues are excessive recoil, abuse, improper installation, defective scope, poor quality scope mount, or repeated use with higher-power rifle in a Lead sled. The best way to solve this problem is to quality scope, rifle, and quality scope mounts, follow instructions and manufacture torque specs.
The Dead-Hold® BDC reticle is based on Minute of Angle (MOA) subtensions. MOA is an angular unit of measurement used to account for bullet drop, wind corrections, and range estimation. 1 MOA will correspond to 1.047” for each 100 yards.
The goal is to “zero” your rifle so it will accurately shoot to a point of aim at a specific distance. You may want to zero your rifle so it hits the center of a target at 100 yards if you know that your shots will be at that distance when hunting.
