    Rifle Scopes Average Usable elevation on PST 5-25

    Hi guys, newbie here. I have recently zeroed my pst 5-25 on my tikka ctr and found that I have about 10.5 mils left of usable elevation. I was honestly a little surprised that it took 15 mils to zero. Is this normal? The ctr has a zero Moa base. Given 25 total mils of elevation and dividing...

    Mils vs MOA the Definitive Reason "Why"

    Both Mils and MOA are an Angle. They were intended to operate as angles and while all angles have linear equivalents, when it comes to shooting there is no reason to use the linear value. We have moved beyond needing to figure the straight line distance. They were always meant to work as an...

    Advanced Marksmanship Somebody Please Explain Math on 3.5 mils = 1 moa

    Rifle Scopes Why Mils over IPHY?

    It seems like most people use Mil/Mil. Why choose that over IPHY? Isn't it a lot easier to do the math if you are shooting in yards to do inch per hundred yards instead of having to convert from mils to yards? Am I missing something? Thanks

    Rifle Scopes Mildot master but MOA instead of MILS?

    Does anyone make something like the mildot master but in moa so an moa dot/hash master? I like the idea of a slide rule instead of a calculator. I currently am using the NPR1 reticle and I think an moa slide rule would be quicker than a calculator.

    I have a scope that ranges in Mils, and adjusts in MOA's. I am just now starting to get into shooting at odd distances. (It is easy if you only shoot at exactly 1K and it is measured off) If you range with mils does it make it easier to use yards or meters for range? If you adjust with MOA...

    So if you have the choice of getting a mil dot scope with either Mil adjustments or MOA adjustments, which one do you get? What is the point of having MOA adjustments on a Mil dot scope...doesn't that just mean more calculations? I want to get good at range estimation and putting the first...

    Rifle Scopes Ranging with mils

    What easy "in the head" math is there for ranging in mils? I have read a few different publications that have different methods, but one way I've come up with (I guess it all depends on how accurate you need to be) is to take the number of inches that one mil covers on the target divided by 4 +...
