I realize that this post is very old but people will still find it as I just did and information has no age. Incorrect information, no matter how old, can cause people problems.

"The standard rule is: 0.008" = 1" change @ 200 up/down & the same for windage. "Kuhnhausen book of the M1 Garand & M14/M1A Rifle]"

Actually, that is incorrect. I'm surprised the experts here didn't notice this error. Each .008" change in windage is approximately 1MOA. So a .008" change would mean approximately a 1" change at 100 yards and a 2" change at 200 yards.

Since the original post included a reference, I will include one too but this information is in just about every book ever writing about the Garand.
"Hatcher's Book of the Garand, page 178."
