How many inches equal 4 MOA at 700 yards?
* (MOA x yards) / 100 = inches
(4 MOA x 700 yards) / 100 = 28 in
*You can drop the last step and make the calculations easier by
moving the decimal on the yards two places to the left.

Dustin,
2 minutes at 600 yards is approximately 12 inches. It takes 8, 1/4
moa clicks to equal 2 moa regardless of the distance. Does that
help?
Of all the sights I have looked at on how to understand MOA this is the
best and easiest to understand. He really helped me out. Thanks.
