At the May RBC in Ramseur I remember 7.62BBQ telling the "new guys" that he keeps a copy of "the guide" in the bathroom as a source of reading material for the trips to that room. If you've got a copy you should be reading it. If you don't have a copy - Why not??
Here's a question, right out of "the guide":
If your sighter shot at 300 yds. is 8" low and 5" right you should move your M1A rear sight:
a. 3 clicks up and 2 clicks left
b. 5 clicks up and 3 clicks right
c. 9 clicks up and 6 clicks left
d. any of the above
I'm going to say the answer b. 5 clicks up and 3 clicks right

8" = 2.66MOA at 300 yards = 3 clicks up assuming 1 MOA click
5" = 1.66 MOA at 300 yards = 2 clicks left
Answer 'A'

hawkhaven,
I must admit, you're right. I gave my answer without actually thinking. The alzheimer's must be kicking in again.

"Kicking the mind from afar" is going to be my new motto!
Yeah, I know that feeling. Guy has kicked me too. He's definitely a character (ment in a nice way). But it got me to rereading Fred's Guide again. Thanks Guy.

Being a quiz out of the guide it also gives the answer. If you know your stuff you don't need to look at the answers box.
Hawkhavn is correct.
