    I know CM and MRAD turrets are basically equal at the same distance. My question is does the 5-25x56 from S&B have the turrets marked CM or MRAD when the scope is listed on vendor sites as being CM CW (clockwise) turrets. I have only seen MRAD labeled on the ones I have looked at....

    Thanks
     
    'Basically equal at the same distance'? The turrets marked cm adjust in Mils.

    It depends on the age of the scope. The new ones are marked .1 Mrad.

    Gotcha. I was looking at Oakland Tactical and they have a S&B 5-25x56 CW CM H2CMR "in stock"

    No one else has any 5-25's with an H2CMR in it so that is why I asked. I have a S&B 4-16x50 which is single turn, CW CM and the turret is engraved CM instead of MRAD. I was just wondering will this scope come with MRAD engraved on it or CM... A small detail I know since 1cm @ 100 meters is equal to 0.1 Mil @ 100 yards. Just wondering what the turret will say since every 5-25 I have seen has MRAD engraved on the turrets.

    No 1cm @ 100 yards is 0.91 Mil

    MRAD + CM clicks represent the same value
