Rifle Scopes As a beginner, should I get an moa or mil reticle?

Re: As a beginner, should I get an moa or mil reticle?

Some of my data books contain a page which has a spread sheet like graph with target size in inches along one border and size in mils on the other. You simply pick the target size and then how large it is in mils. Where those two intersect in the graph is a box containing the range. You of course can make your own if you like. Just another level of redundancy.

If your gonna practice milling, you need an range finder, do you have one?

We have mildot masters in stock and we also have some of the above mentioned pages and reference materials you need to have the essentials in your data book.

I just ran a course where a LRF was dead weight for 85% of the COF. Knowing how to use the Retical only, and not dialing as well, was where it was at. I'd not bet it all on a LRF. Proper Fieldcraft, will allow you to work within your weapons error range, for the given target size.

LRF'ers = need a clear LOS from you to target, or great depth preception, either well work,... if you have the time.
If your a one man gig, learn the Retical.

If time is your friend, a LRF is great, but what happens if it goes tits up when you need it most?,...Learn your retical of choice.

Yeah that article helps a bit. I'm just overwhelmed by the math but I think the mildot master should help a lot initally.

Just gotta remember to bring that and a calculator to the range, else I'm screwed! LOL </div></div>

Or just get a IPHY retical from USO, an do it in you head.

Target size in inchs/retical subtention X 100 = yardage.
