In my defense, as someone who had history with Leupold Mark 4 scopes, moa turrets, and mil dot reticles.

No worries. I'd rather get advice from someone who knows the systems. Instead of doing something wrong
Ok thank you
Again it goes to use and practice. Say a 10" piece of steel at 1000 and you need to go to it as a hold and need 8.8 mils. If you drop the 9 mil mark above you will hit as at 1000 .1 mil is 3.6" so you are at 7.2 " below the 9 mark. It's simple. Same with holding under and also using the .5 mil mark to hit .4 or .6. I have seen people get confused with .2 mil marks because there are too many marks for quick shots. This is why I told you to have him look at them and see what works. As I said I use both and have no problems with either.
As to resale, again it falls into peoples likes. I sold a .5 mil scope for about $200 less than I paid for it 6 years ago.

I feel it's in what you are use too. You might look at a CrimsonTrace scope. (Midway) If using a MOA and changing over Mil dot. print out a chart and tape it to your stock. You can do that on excel and reduce the size of it. From what I have read the CrimsonTrace is or has been a good scope. I have one, but haven't put it into action. For $600.00 at that time I figured I would try and see. I got a 3x18x50 in a 34mm tube. To me they a cheap in price, and I wonder it that going to the case on how the scope is going act.

I'm glad you mentioned them. They are very new to the variable scope/magnified optic market but they've been producing outstanding equipment for a long time.
If one wants to take a bit of a gamble on a newcomer to the market to save some big bucks that's one I would certainly consider.
They are also produced in the US not China or The Philippines which I consider a big plus. I have yet to confirm it but from what I've been told by someone pretty reliable is that they are using very good quality Japanese glass but the rest is done here in the US.
Crimson Trace: Still Made in the USA
America has renewed a love affair for products that are Made in the USA. There are good reasons for the fondness...

Want to really mess with someone? Try a FFP variable scope with mildot reticle and MOA dials…

That would just be plain mean. Bad enough that some reticles used to be Mil/MOA with mils for elevation and MOA for windage.
Arken!
Equally mean!
Used to be the norm when I started shooting matches. Luckily it went away.
