If a scope is 1/4" clicks @ 100yrds what are they at lets say 200 yards ? or 300 yards ? Sorry if that is a dumb question ;) .

All well and good providing your scope is true MOA, some "MOA" scopes are not...

 

Makes no discernable difference at closer ranges, but stretch a bit and you will miss small targets.

Best to think of the scope clicks as an angle rather than a distance.

So in your case, one click would always be one quarter minute of one degree whatever the distance.

 

This equates roughly to,

1/4" at 100 yds

1/2" at 200 yds

3/4" at 300 yds

1" at 400 yds (notice 4x the distance 4x the scope click)

etc etc

 

This doesn't take into account the difference in true moa and your scopes supposed settings but it will get you going.

 

1 minute is actually 1.046" at 100 yds but unless your shooting a long way you can disregard this to get you going. You could always refine it later once you get the hang of it.
