Default RE: Adjusting Scope - Help

The booklet says if you adjust one click it will make a difference of 1 inch at 100 yards and 2 inches at 200 yards. So, if I want to adjust at 50 yards (or metres – I know this is a longer distance) does that mean that 1 click is ½ inch at 50?
Yes, that' s called a ONE MINUTE-OF-ANGLE per click adjustment value.

A single click is 1" at 100yards?That is the most coarse adjustments that I have ever heard of.Usually one click=1/4 inch and one division =1 inch at 100 yards.
There are a lot of scopes, particularly lower-powered ones, that have adjustments coarser than 1/4 MOA per click or dial graduation . AND, a lot of them, especially the " lower-priced" ones, that have coarser than 1/4 MOA adjustments, despite CLAIMING have them 1/4 MOA ones!! Take a look at the older Leupolds that have " friction" rather than " click" , adjustments. They have numbered dial graduations, and it is 1 MOA from one numbered line to the next. However, you can stop between lines for finer adjustments, if you want.
