[QUOTE="doug b, post: 1314576, member: 45073"] Just my two cents, and keeping it light, I hear a lot of people say that they use MOA because it is what they have always known or ever been exposed to, and for those reasons never give Mills an opportunity. I too used to think this way, until I took a little bit of time to educate myself in the benefits of running mils over Moa. With out getting super deep into the math error differences, if you're shooting say 300 yards or less then it's no big issue but if you are a long distance shooter like the majority of us on here the math ears that are quite apparent in MOA shows up, this is where mils shows its usefulness. If you have ever seen the math or a Ballistics app, The .1 on a mill scale is also one click on the turret, example. 2.4 Mills is also 24 clicks, which anyone knows that uses MOA knows MOA and clicks are not a direct connect. I would snap up to the number 2 and then 4 more clicks and I'm done.
