A few years ago - fewer than you would believe - a <span style="font-style: italic">really</span> HSLD U.S. military outfit ordered S&B scopes with Horus reticles and MOA adjustments. S&B made them, probably with the engineers laughing all the way to the bank.
And there are still the ignorant who think that if you get milliradian adjustments, you have to range in meters.
In a few years, no one will make a graduated reticle scope whose adjustments don't match the reticle.
It took several <span style="text-decoration: underline">years</span> of badgering by shooters and market forces for Nightforce to realize that yes, there <span style="font-weight: bold">is</span> a market for FFP scopes, and Leupold, which has made scopes with mil reticles for many years, still hasn't produced a scope with 0.1 mil adjustments, although they have promised them, and only recently produced FFP scopes.
Things move more slowly than we'd like.

Lindy,
Your right, I was being too harsh. And I agree with everything you've said, except one small point.
Leupold has produced a 30mm scope line with 1 cm @ 100m adjustments (which is of course the same as 0.1 mils @ 100 yds) for at least 6-7 or so years if not more. That line is called European-30 line. And it's adjustments have always been metric orientated at 1 cm @ 100M, to appeal to that market.
But as per usual, Leupold left hand ain't talking to it's right hand, and they just lurch along.
But thanks for your comments, spot on as usual.
Bob
