Military / Defense

English term or phrase: in 100 yard increments

Context: Guns
Sentence: "The (gun's) back sight graduates from 100 to 1000 yards in 100 yard increments."

A "sight" (back sight or front sight) is "an optical instrument for aiding the eye in aiming, as on a firearm or surveying instrument."
(Some pictures here: http://members.optushome.com.au/lee-enfield/ti14.htm )

So "in 100 yard increments" means that the sight could be adjusted to 100, 200, 300 etc. up to 1000 yards.

But how can that be expressed in Arabic? I can't think anymore.... Thanks in advance
