[QUOTE="bearcat2, post: 1314970, member: 18832"] I'm with MachV I run MOA turrets and mildot reticles. In fact I just bought a new Leupold Mark 4 a few months ago, and specifically ordered it that way. I think in inches, feet and yards. Well I surveyed for years, where measurements are commonly in tenthes and hundredths of feet rather than inches, but I did a lot of ballpark converting for the average Joe over the years, so I can think in inches fine. I have used the metric system a little bit (want to hear real whining? Send a set of engineered plans in metric to a survey company and a construction company) but I grew up using standard and it is what I think in. I was always pretty good at math, so maybe its just me, but I don't see metric math being any simpler than standard. I don't use a mildot reticle to judge range with, I have a rangefinder. So the fact it is not matched to the turrets doesn't bother me. The fact that the Leupold mildot reticle is by far my preferred hunting reticle does. It has the fine crosshairs for drawing a fine bead without covering up your target, yet the dots are glaringly obvious and immediately cause your eye to track to the center of the crosshairs when that big bull goes crashing through the timber as you are walking in. I've looked through and used a lot of different scopes through the years, but I've never found another reticle that I was as comfortable with and liked as much for both long and short range. [/QUOTE]
