Math? What math? You simply read a ruler (the reticle) and read a dope card. No math to it
Read the stickies for "what's a mil dot?" Also the M5 FFP TMR will be the easiest means system to use in your budget---while NF makes great scopes, lack of FFP in the price range really hurts the value. Don't be stubborn, learn
the system and you'll thank me later. </div></div>
Math as in 3.6" at 100 yards = 1 mil and 1 moa = 1.047" at 100. And 3.6x10=36" per mil at 1k. Gosh, get a clue. </div></div>
You may be joking, but there are people that get hung up on this crap. I don't know why, but you try to teach them and they get all mad and offended like you're somehow lying to them or something. People think they need to
somehow convert something from MOA or mRad in their scope to inches, then back to MOA or mRad for some reason. They can't figure out "the target measures 2.2 mRad, slide their mil-dot master or plug in the measurement in the mil realtion formula or whatever they think is easiest and crank their mRad knob to whatever their dope chart says. They get hung up on "math" when the reality is they don't need to do any. And you also see lots of guys that would rather "guess" how many inches they miss by so they can plug it into mRad or MOA so they can dial their scope when their reticle is a rule. They don't understand if it measures .5 mRad low or left, hold up .5 or dial .5 in. They get hung up on knowing how far they miss in inches when that is completely
irrelevant. </div></div>
Agreed. A mil is a mil. That's why it is simple. For example I have a NF with mildot reticle but moa turrets. I use my mils as holdover when "quick shooting" hunting situations present themselves but use moa while shooting lr.
The op is a very smart guy. He is just getting into this stuff. Trust me, he'll figure it out.
I told him the key is a good rifle, scope, rings, base and chronograph. He'll have to pick his poison by trial and error as I know I did.
