I got to ask. What is the advantage of having mil elevation knob and a MOA windage knob? Sorry but for the life of me I can't think of one and find it one of the stupidest things I have heard of on a scope.

My thoughts exactly! I was really confused when i found out about it. What's the idea behind this?
 
At least I know I am (learning and ) progressing in this field, no question im an absolute st00pit n00bie b00bie amateur wannabe when it comes to long range/precision/ tactical shooting. ?.. but at least I even said to myself, why would go (go to the trouble to learn and then use effectively and be comfortable and good with) mils for range / elevation, but then revert to MOA for wind ? Must be way above my pay grade. But I can see others thought the same thing.
 
Honestly I am thinking there was some miscommunication somewhere in that I don't think they were saying Mil elevation and MOA wind but that the scope is available in both MOA and Mil configurations. I am sure they would make one with MOA and Mil knobs but why anyone would want that is beyond me.
