How Many Clicks/Inches Up?

SKIP · Aug 1, 2017

I have a 10/22 Target (the only rifle with the twists outside the barrel) that is sighted in at 50 yards.
Since I am a Yankee and want to save money how many clicks/inches to raise POI at 100 yards?

What brand scope and what reticle does it have?

Depending on gun and ammo, the drop from 50 to 100 is approx 6 inches from my notes on my 22 using CCI SV.
So if it is 1 click per 1/4" @ 100, that is 24 clicks of UP That should keep you on paper.

The most important part.. how high is the scope mount

Best bet. Just shoot a round and see what the drop is. Then adjust your scope elevation.

Just get a hit on paper and then while an assistant solidly holds the rifle in a cradle move the reticle from the center of point of aim to where the bullet strike is. Depending on what type of ammo is used its prolly 4-6" low@100. With 40 gr. American eagle my rifle is 4" low at 100 when sighted in at 50. >22 ammo is cheap dont over think it.

Whatever happened too walking your rounds up one click at a time until you get to where you need to be?

You take good notes. :thumbsup:

A very good ballpark estimate with 22lr, given a 50 yard sight in.

6 inches. Close enough and easy enough to commit to memory.

I have walked many rounds of 81MM but that was the Army's expense.

I am a tight bastard and don't want to Swiss cheese another 2X heavy.

He said he's yankee cheap and doesn't want to waste ammo. Besides you'll know right off if your scopes mounted right in two shots.

Too much time, too much ammo.

You can sight in with 3 - 5 rounds. Why would you shoot 25 to do the same thing?

JBM Ballistics

You can input your parameters and get a ballistics table for any caliber, any load, any rifle.

Leave it to you to suck the fun out of shooting.

Because you can ?

If you turn the gun upside down, the barrel will be over the scope, that should do it! :innocent0

Just kidding, I couldn't resist! :evilgrin3

Yep. With a standard velocity .22lr, start at 6 inches for 100 yds with a 50 yd sight-in and work from there.

Probably about 8 inches. You may be able to zoom in on your scope until you can use where the duplex reticle goes from skinny to fat as a 100 yard aiming point...just remember or notch what power works so you can use it later.
