I've got a Nightforce 5-22x56 scope with Mil Dots and 0.1 mil click turrets.

Has anyone used a BORS with a 0.1 mil click scope? It's set up for 1/4 moa clicks, but I'm wondering if you can make adjustments to make it compatible with 0.1 mil clicks.

You can not change the settings on the BORS from MOA to MIL but you can change the MOA per click to be the equivalent of .1mil.
I think it would be .3438 moa= .1mil.

So, it sounds like it will work then. Doesn't sound like I would lose any functionality of the BORS. Just requires an adjustment of the click value. That was the answer I was hoping for.

Peronally I'd not buy the BORS. I have used one and think your money is better spent using that money, selling the NF and stepping up to S&B or Hensoldt. Just my $.02

The BORS will not currently work with that scope. If you want a MIL-based scope for use with BORS you have to go S&B 5-25 or 3-12.

When you say it won't work, what do you mean? I can't adjust the click value on the BORS to .3438 moa to make one click equal to .1 mil?

No. There are mechanical differences as well.
