1/4 or 1/8

[Bottom Fodder]

Do most run 1/4 or 1/8 moa scopes for FClass? I know with 1/8 there is less ” hold off the X”
and I guess some use Mil’s dot scopes

I prefer 1/8. But my spare scope is 1/4 and it isn’t the end of the world.

1/8 minute,,,, you’ll want it for elevation adjustment…… not as important for windage…..
If you’re deciding on a purchase, go with the 1/8.

at 1000yrds 1/4 “ click will be 2 1/2” on paper where 1/8” click will be 1 1/4”
I don’t chase the bullets with the turrets anyway once I’m on target I use hold offs with cross hairs on target according to the wind

Most in F Class will hold windage so it's less critical, but for elevation as others have said you'll be moving 2-1/2" on the target at 1000 mean if you're shot is at the top of the X ring, you only have one click of adjustment before you're now at the bottom of the X ring. That means you're more likely to have to shade high or low to hold your waterline which is less than ideal when it can be easily resolved by getting 1/8 minute clicks giving you more adjustment inside the X or even the 10 ring if needed.

Now what would Mr. 200-30X know???

Better to have the 1/8 now than to want it later.
You won't see many if any F class guys running a Mil dot scope
Most SFP high power scope are 1/8
If you want 1/4, then move the 1/8 turret 2 clicks... Easy

With only 2-1/2" between the X and 9 ring, 1/8 minute is the way to go.

If you're looking to buy a scope get 1/8. If you have something you want to use to try and see if you like the game then use whatever you have.

I use a 1/4 and have learned to deal with it and feel comfortable with it. If I ever buy another scope problem go with a 1/8. I figured the majority did use 1/8

I prefer running 1/8 th elevation and 1/4 for the wind. I know that wasn't the question, but I felt the need to inject irons in the conversation. One tiny benefit of shooting irons.

Well good post .
I got away with 1/4 in F/ Open.
Made HM Mid and Long ???
Never shot a 300 F/Class Target till a Couple weeks ago . 200-14 and 200-12
Not sure 1/8 Would have made a difference in that case !
