night force

Re: night force

The nightforce FFP model is the F1 3.5-15x. As for your mildot question, correct me if I am wrong someone, but from center to center of each dot is 1 miliradian, ~3.6 inches or ~9.14 cm.

Re: night force

Nightforce’s F1 model (FFP) has the option of Mil (Milradian) or MOA (Minutes of angle) reticles and turrets.

A scope with a Mil based reticle and turret is often used with metric distances. That being said, both MOA and Mil are pure angular measurements and can be used with either metric or imperial measurements. It is common for people who think in imperial measurements to prefer MOA based scopes and metric thinkers to prefer Mils.

The reason for this being:

0.1 mil= 1 cm @ 100 meters
Which is easier mentally than:
0.1 mil = .36 in at 100 yards


1 MOA= 1.047 in @ 100 yards (typically rounded to 1 in “Shooter's MOA”).
Again, easier than:
1 MOA= 2.54 cm @ 100 meters

A Nightforce F1 Mil turret has 10 mils per revolution. The Mil units could be translated to CM units at specific ranges- remember Mils are an angular measurement. So, in a way, yes, Nightforce makes a CM scope...

In conclusion, it really isn’t a matter of thinking in Imperial or Metric systems. If your reticle and turrets match, your reticle becomes a very useful ruler. As long as a shooter can spot their misses, they can measure the error with the reticle and adjust with the turrets.

Does this answer your question?
 
Re: night force

I think you intended to put 0.1 mil or 10 cm.

1 mil = 10 cm @ 100 meters, not 1 cm. (1cm = 2.54in, 3.6in * 2.54 = 9.144 @ 100y, 9.144 * 1.0936133 (yards to meters) = 10cm)

Now 0.1 mil does equal 1 cm @ 100 meters. So the OP's question is yes if he is talking about a distance of 100 meters.

Good catch Vinson. Fixed it. Good thing it's just a hobby for me.
