Hello Joe W Reha /Cyclops scope videos on youtube has some great videos on scopes in all price points and there ability to track ( well worth watching). With that said I have found that MOA/ MOA scopes are easier to use and teach people on. Every one in the US uses the imperial system and for quick math especially with in a 100yds very easy to do. With Mils, 1 mil=3.6 inch @ 100yds and 1.8 @ 50( to much crazy math for me) where as 1 moa is 1 inch @ 100yds and 1/2 inch @ 50 yds just easier to do the math in my opinion. I know you stated that you wanted to dial but if you decide to use hold over moa is in my opinion much easier to use, and if you run you ammo and muzzle velocity threw a ballistic program you can have a detailed chart of your bullet drops. Well I wish you the best of luck in which ever way you go. Good luck with your new scope
False. I actually use to use the Imperial system frequently but I’ve changed to the Metric for its logic. In my opinion, mils are much more logical when paired with the metric system(base 10) versus MOA with any system. Why? Because a milradian is the ratio of 1/1000 while a minute of angle(MOA) is the ratio of 1/14,400. You don’t have to be a genius to see how intuitively the metric system plays with the milradian relationship. At 100 m one mil is 10 cm. At 10 m one mil is 1 cm. At 37.3 m one mil is .0373 m which is otherwise known as 3.73 cm. At 55 m one mil is 5.5 cm and .1 mil is .55 cm. It’s easy. It’s literally moving the decimal place three places. I’m sorry but that just is SO much easier for me to understand and calculate than anything MOA does., In my opinion . Another advantage of mils is they are a less fine adjustment than MOA. This isn’t much of an advantage at longer ranges but definitely so at 100 yds and closer. For example, let’s say your gun is zeroed at 25 yards and you are just about to pile drive a pigeon and then it flies out to 75 yards. If your projectile drops 12” in that 50 yards…3/4”=MOA @ 75 yds so 16 MOA of adjustment is required) with 1/4 MOA adjustments that is 64 clicks to zero. In a similar example, 25-75 meters with 30.5 cm(12”) of drop…at 75 m one mil=7.5 cm so 4 mil of adjustment is required) with .1 mil adjustments that is 40 clicks to zero. Something to think about.
