Technically speaking, it depends upon the sight radius of your rifle/carbine.
Practically speaking, who cares. Just adjust it until the POI is where you want it. That's a good link, BTW. Good luck. |

Sorry I didnt add the sight radius, I know it is important, just forgot. Parctically speaking, I care. That is why I asked. But thanks for the opinion, BTW.  |

Sorry. I wasn't trying to be flip. I'm curious about things myself, so I ran off a couple of quick calculations.
My A1 carbine has a sight radius of 14 15/32". So moving either the front or rear sight by approximately .0048" would equal a 1 MOA shift in the POI. |

LOL. I might be if I did the calculations right the first time. See the edited version above. I should stop trying to watch football and calculate at the same time.
 I think I got it right now... |

You must have been watching the replay of the Colts. Probably why you came up a bit short.
Thanks! |

Damn, we are dealing with small numbers here. Depending on how I attack the calculation, and how my calculator rounds off the numbers, I get some variation in the answer. Let's split the difference, and call it .0048".
I'm done....
