    Seeing and writing in this thread prompted me to go out and do some more evaluating on this scope.
    It uses mm per 100 M in the clicks ...... something I hadnt picked up on before so 1 click = 7 mm at 100 M

    I was pleased about this as when I dialed I tended to over run a bit. I did a quick box test and ended back at zero easily enough. My point of aim didnt change and I just dialed in elevation and windage to end up on another grid spot ( I use targets with 5 square bull eye blacks) They are grided off into 25 mm squares.
    So I dialed up 3 inches ( 12 clicks )and across 6 (24 clicks ) and got near to where I wanted, in reality I had just dialed in 84 mm and 168mm.

    I dialed down and back across for the lower left target and was off a similar amount. I dialed it back to zero and hit back on center again. So when I got home I was checking out the dials and realised the cause for the "error" I am confident that this scope dials accurately and well I just need to remember its not 1/4 inch clicks.
