Here is a cut-and-paste reply from a fellow named Tim in the UK (I believe it was on this forum):

Anschutz sights

Anschutz sights are graded in Miliradians, (1 mil is the angle subtended by 1m at 1000m, so 10cm at 100m). Older Anschutz sights had each click worth 1/20 mil, handily this equates near as dammit, to 1/6 moa. These older sights are also called 10 clicks, as each rotation of the turret was 10 clicks. We shooters do come up with great names don't we!

Newer Anschutz sights have 1/40 mil clicks, each turret rotation taking 20 clicks.

10 click sights; 1 click = 2.5mm @ 50m

20 click sights; 1 click = 1.25mm @ 50m

These are of course nominal and will differ depending upon the sight radius.

Can anyone else comment on this? Has anyone confirmed this by actual results at the range?

Tim's got it spot on. In simpler terms, 7020-20 is for all practical purposes, 13 clicks for 1 minute at 100 yds.
