help with gun sight for 200 yards

[irishboy 1]

hi to all the members.

i have a tikka 22-250 which iknow is out , i understand the concept of sighting the scope but my question is this, the clicker on the scope says for 100 yards, i want to set gun for 200 yards, if the shot is out by inch at 200 yards then do i double my adjustment or half my adjustment, sorry about this , i was never any good at mathematics and physics !!!

yours in need

That's the concept, roughly anyway, as in if a click is worth half an inch of adjustment at 100 yards, that same click is worth an inch at 200.

IF YOUR SCOPE IS FOR A CENTERFIRE RIFLE IT WILL BE 1/4 OR 1/8 ..LETS SAYS ITS 1/4 ..THAT WILL BE 1/4 OF AN INCH AT 100 YRDS ..SO ONE CLICK IS 1/4 OF AN INCH ..SO 4 CLICKS WILL BE AN INCH ...SET YOUR SCOPE SO ITS 1" HIGH AT 100 YRDS SHOULD BE GOOD FOR 200 YRDS BANG ON ..GOOD ENOUGH FOX FOX ECT

many thank for the replys folks, it is a 1/4 inch click per 100 yards, so if i fire gun and its out by 1 inch on my target at 200 yards i move the sight 8 clicks, is this correct ???

[SNAP SHOT 194]

4 clicks at 100 is one inch but at 200 it would be 2 inches 300 would be 3 inches

so 2 clicks at 100 is 1/2 inch at 100 and 1 inch at 200 etc.........

 

 

 

 

like this 4 clicks equals 1 inch at 100 only these same four clicks equal 2 inches at 200 3 inches at 300, etc 10 inches at 1000 yards

 

so 2 clicks on scope equals .5 inch at 100yards and 1 inch at 200yard

 

so 2 clicks equal .5 at 100 yards so at 600 yards this is .5x6 is 3 inches at 600yards for 2 clicks

 

do you see now how it works out.

SET YOUR SCOPE SO ITS 1" HIGH AT 100 YRDS SHOULD BE GOOD FOR 200 YRDS BANG ON ..GOOD ENOUGH FOX FOX ECT

 

this would be the easiest way to go if you are confused.

depending on the quality of your scope i would move the windage[left/right] only 2 clicks shoot 2 rounds see where the bullet impacts.repeat till you are on the money.reason for this is old and cheap scopes do not move the p.o.i of a bullet exactly as they should.as i dont know what scope you have this is agood method to use.

by the way my mate who i lamp with has a TIKKA M-595 in 22-250 it is very accurate with 40gn vmax,its zero is 1.5in high @ 100yds and still 1in high at 200.

let us know how you get on.

I'd love to try but I don't understand a word....I'm old and I don't recall this from school

 

Then depending what cal you got...........1 inch high at 100 and bang on at 180..............+- cal 1.5 inch vs cal .

 

Run that by me again in schoolboy terms so I can have a try!
