Rifle Scopes MILS to MOA?

[ivillarreal]

Q: I’ve seen most spotting scopes are MRAD/Mil Reticle, correct? BUT my 2 rifles have NF MOA turrets&reticle, so if spotter is calling adjustments from Mil reticle spotting scope what’s the math back to MOA scope?? I don’t need MOA to mil, I need mil to MOA.

Its the opposite of converting MOA to MIL. I bet if you googled MIL to MOA you would find your own answer.

multiply his call by 3.43 if I remember

1 MOA = ~0.291 MIL

1 MIL = ~3.44 MOA




There are 2*pi radian in a circle = 2* 3.14159 = ~6.2832 radians = ~6283.185 milliradians

There are 360 degrees in a circle and 60 minutes per degree: 360 * 60 = 21,600 minutes

6283.185 milliradians/21,600 minutes = 0.29088 mils per 1 MOA

21,600 minutes / 6,283.185 milliradians = 3.43775 MOA per 1 mil

Thanks brother that helps a ton. That keeps me from trying to go out of my way in spending money on a MOA spotting scope or conversion kit.

Just multiply the mil offset by 3. It doesn't require that much resolution.

If off by .7 Mils...then call it either 2 or 2.25 MOA.

Got a MilDot Master? Look at the right hand scales. Mil on the right, MOA on the left Look at the Mil value and go straight left to the MOA number, ignore the values in the window. No math

@ivillarreal Attached are a couple PDFs you can print for reference or save the jpgs to your phone. Or make your own. Or buy a table from someone else.

Or just get with the times and see the light like most of us. More and more mil users every day!
