[QUOTE="jtkratzer, post: 702018, member: 40885"] Ranging with a mil system is accurate enough for those who are competent with the tools in their hands through practice. There is very little need for hunters to have corrections as small as 1/8" per hundred yards when most big game have a vital areas measure 10+ inches in diameter. That's 4,000 yards before a single click on a 1/8 MOA scope moves the point of impact 5". Just not really necessary for hunting and that's what this forum is...long range hunting, right? No gripes about accuracy, just don't see a need for that kind of turret dial for people who are hunting. And as far as artillery, the mil system works well enough for 0861s and 13Fs to adjust artillery to within 50m of their target when the range to the target can exceed 4 miles. It works to range targets when the target size is known - again, proficiency, not some guy who shoots a few rounds to sight in and then heads out to hunt. [/QUOTE]
