[ARCHIVED THREAD] - A2 sight number locations in clicks

Can find lots of info on the click values, but can't seem to find anything that lists how many clicks to the various numbers on the dial ( '4', '5' etc...) For the 3/6 and 3/8. There a chart somewhere that lists it?

A 6/3 handle is 6, 8, 10 clicks.

My 0.5 MOA value NM 8/3 is 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 clicks.

Counting the detent holes, that seems a bit off. On the A4/DCH, would the '4' not be around 8 clicks from the '3/6' and the '5' about 17 clicks from it going by the picture below?

Mine is an A2.

I've never seen an 8/3 DCH, dunno.

Likely a different thread pitch to match the increase in detent count. ETA: looking at the pics, yes. Tighter pitch.

ETA2: pbbbbt. Brainfart. A2s are 1 MOA value elevation, so half what I said. I blame my raising amongst "service rifle" competitors not using milspec parts.

I thought the A2 was MOA. I'm counting 25 holes in both the dials above thou. It so, that would actually be quite nice. I think that would mean that I could put of these on it and have an MOA dial:

That would actually be very nice!

Same number of detents on the knob, but a courser pitch makes the A2 1 MOA and finer pitch makes DCHs 0.5 MOA.

That pic is an aesthetic part showing the number of clicks (detents). Milspec is 24 per rev, some comspec is 25.

I put a cross-post in the A2 forum.

That makes sense since the 25 would be 0 rolled-over.

Thanks!
