Hey there, fellow shooting enthusiasts! As a supplier of Tactical Rifle Scopes, I often get asked about all sorts of technical details. One question that comes up quite a bit is, "What is the click value of the turrets on a tactical rifle scope?" Well, buckle up because I'm gonna break it down for you.
First off, let's talk about what these turrets are. On a tactical rifle scope, you've got these little knobs called turrets. They're usually located on the top and the side of the scope. The top turret is mainly for adjusting the elevation, which is how high or low your shot will go. The side turret is for windage, which helps you account for the wind pushing your bullet off course.
Now, the click value is super important. It tells you how much the point of impact of your bullet will change every time you click one of those turret knobs. Most scopes out there have a click value of either 1/4 MOA (Minute of Angle) or 1/2 MOA. But what the heck is MOA?
MOA is a unit of angular measurement. One MOA is about 1 inch at 100 yards. So, if your scope has a click value of 1/4 MOA, that means every time you click the turret, the point of impact of your bullet will move about 1/4 of an inch at 100 yards. If you're shooting at 200 yards, it'll move half an inch (because 1/4 MOA at 200 yards is 1/2 inch), and at 300 yards, it'll move 3/4 of an inch, and so on.
Let's say you're at the range, and you notice that your shots are hitting 2 inches low at 100 yards. If your scope has a 1/4 MOA click value, you'd need to turn the elevation turret up 8 clicks (since 2 divided by 1/4 is 8). That should get your shots right on target.
Now, why does this matter? Well, if you're a competitive shooter, every little bit counts. Knowing the click value of your scope allows you to make precise adjustments quickly. You can compensate for different distances, wind conditions, and other factors that can affect your shot.
For hunters, it's also crucial. You might be in the field, and you spot a target at a certain distance. If you know how your scope's turrets work and what the click value is, you can make the necessary adjustments to take a clean shot.
When it comes to choosing a scope based on click value, it depends on your needs. If you're mostly shooting at shorter distances, a 1/2 MOA click value might be fine. It gives you bigger adjustments with each click, which can be quicker. But if you're into long - range shooting, a 1/4 MOA click value is usually better. It allows for more precise adjustments, which are essential when you're trying to hit a small target at a long distance.
At our company, we offer a wide range of Tactical Rifle Scopes with different click values to suit your needs. For example, our Side Focus Tactical Rifle Scopes are great for shooters who need to quickly adjust the focus and also have precise turret adjustments. These scopes come with either 1/4 MOA or 1/2 MOA click values, so you can choose what works best for you.
Our Centerfire Tactical Rifle Scopes are designed for high - powered rifles. They have durable turrets with clear click values, so you can make reliable adjustments even in tough conditions.
And if you're looking for something more compact, our Micro Red Dot Tactical Scopes are a great option. They might not have the same long - range adjustment capabilities as some of our other scopes, but they're super fast and easy to use, with click values that are simple to understand.
In addition to the click value, there are other things to consider when choosing a tactical rifle scope. The quality of the glass, the reticle type, and the overall build of the scope are all important factors. But the click value of the turrets is definitely up there in terms of importance.
