I have this scope and was going to mount it and then I saw this. See attached photo. Someone help me with this and rationalize how I can use it effectively? I don't do metric.

Basically it doesn't fall under the common adjustment steps used today of 1/4 moa or 0.1 mrad per click. Therefore you have to calculate how many clicks you need given your drop chart and the ratio on the dial.
 
Ballistic solvers/programs typically have "Turret Adjustment Values" that need Input, to compute solutions accurate, to the actual scope values. Many scopes, even if advertised say 1/4-MOA, are not spot on values when tracking tested, and need adjusted values inputted for the solvers/programs to compute accurate ballistic solutions.

Just my 2-cents, to your question.
 
It will be interesting to know what if anything Swarovski offers. If nothing, maybe there are 3rd party scope services available to switch it over to MOA or Mrad.

Dear Crowsnest2002 , i was honest with swarovski customer service for a Swarovski scope. I think it was a 4x12 x 40mm. I forgot the mans name for customer service. I mentioned to him some were bought from gun dealers that are demo's. I said I don't kno, sir. I will pay for this , the seals are bad, looks like dust storm. I mailed it off ,
and in 4 or 5 days he called or emailed me, brain poot, I dont remember. This will be covered , the scope is 20 something years old . I didn't kno I had it this long. This my first return to swarovski, for repair. I love the Swarovski's clarity . The best Swarovski to me is the Swarovski 3 x 9 x 36 .
Crow, I hope this helps, I have the number. Send me your phone number in a p.m. please, and I will send you Swarovski's number. Buck, in n.c.
 
From swarovski.

Unfortunately it is not possible to change the turret to MOA system. See enclosed technical data.
