Default RE: sighting in a scope- Cheers Guys!

I recently aquired a new scope for my rifle and mounted it up. I knew the basics of sighting in, but thought I might search the net a bit in hope of finding some tips and tricks. After trolling several sites I came upon this thread. I learnt more here than I did from the other sites combined. Well done lads, you've helped me out quite a bit. Here we use the metric system, so I did a few calculations and worked out all of the metric equivalents, based on the info you blokes provided. (they are all approximate). I worked out i could expext ~40mm drop for every 25m. I will probably sight in for 50m, so @ 25m, it will hit ~38mm high. @ 100m, 1 adjustment click = 7mm crosshair movement. @ 50m 1 click = 3.5mm and so forth. This probably means nothing to you, and if it doesn't, it's the same for me looking at the imperial measurements. Anyway, well done guys, (sorry to dig up an old thread) and Happy Hunting from Oz!
