MOA & MRAD Scope Click Calculator

Calculators to easily help you determine how many clicks to use at what distance for a give value of MOA or MRAD, and the inverse scope click calculation as well.

Scope Click Calculators for inches.

Instructions:

1. You Enter:
   • Scope MIL adjustment per click.
   • Desired movement of the bullet’s impact in centimeters.
   • Target distance in meters.
2. Calculation:
   • The calculation converts centimeters to meters and uses the standard MIL formula below adjusted for metric units.
3. Output:
   • The result is displayed in “clicks” needed to adjust the scope.

Formula:

Scope MIL click calculator for metric units (m and cm).

Notes:

1 MOA = 1.047 inch at 100 yards. For most practical purposes you can substitute inches for MOA if your scope specifies MOA at 100 yards. For example: 1/4 MOA at 100 yards = 1/4 inch at 100 yards.

1 MRAD / MIL = 10 centimeters at 100 meters, so 0.1 MRAD is 1 click at 100 meters for MIL rifle scopes. For most practical purposes you can substitute clicks for 0.1 MRAD if your scope specifies the usual 0.1MRAD at 100m. For example: 1 click at 100 meter = 1 cm at 100 meters.

Unsure about bullet drop or what adjustments you’ll need to zero at different distances?

Your best bet is to head to the range and gather some real-world data—empirical data is still the best true data.
