Mil or Moa reticle

[DrDeath]

Do you guys prefer a MIL or MOA reticle in your rifle scope?

And why?

Mil

You've been here long enough you should know why.

 

[OREGUN]

Depends on the purpose of the reticle/scope/rifle. Benchrest type shooting with sighters and a fixed, known distance? MOA all day.

Anything else, Mil.

NEITHER IS “BETTER” OR “WORSE”.

 

[FuhQ]

MIL... Because it's just better.

I have some MOA European scopes, but it is what it is. I still prefer MILs any day of the week.

MIL. I can add the numbers faster. I can quickly tell you what 17 dimes equals, faster than I can 17 quarters. That, and 95% of all the shooters I have been around and shot with use MIL. Makes life much easier that way.

 

[kriller134]

I like a mil reticle and moa turrets.

It’s not Monday, and you are asking about MILF’s. Wait, what? Oops. Sorry wrong thread.

 

[Thriller]

MILS only. It’s the only thing that makes sense.

Minutes are for weirdos for real

Stop the Debate, Mils vs MOA vs IPHY

Sniper's Hide is constantly fielding the question of Milliradians versus Minute of Angle vs Inches Per Hundred Yards. Mils vs MOA

For precision rifle go mils. Look up weaponized math as well.

MOA. because that’s how accuracy is measured. 1 moa gun right?
Sounds stupid to say “I have a gun that shoots sub .3 mil”

But is it really sub moa? Or is it really sub iphy?

Mil all day and twice on Sunday.

MIL is infinitely easier if you use metric. One click on a 1/10 turret is exactly 1 cm at 100 m. Once I discovered that, I didn't even bother buying anything in MOA or yards.

But if you don't want to do metric, then use MOA.

I mil is 1/1000th of whatever unit you want to measure. 1 squirrel ball at 1000 squirrel balls away is 1 mil. 1 mile at 1000 miles is 1 mil. 1 light year at 1000 light-years is 1 mil. Convert 100 yards to inches. Apply the same 1/1000th rule and you will see.

It's an angular measurement. Don't worry about what it is at distance. It doesn't matter. What is 1 mil at 753 yards? Or 1 mil at 1058 yards? I don't care because it is 1 mil.

Both are angular. Neither is better than the other but make sure the knobs match the reticle. Pic one, learn how to use it and go shoot.

Also both are easier if you forget any linear equivalent.

I’ll be the odd ball and say it. MOA all day for me….
