POLL: Preferred Combination of Turrets and Reticle?

[mewaters2002]

The primary purpose of Mils was range finding. Having a Mil reticle gives me a backup in case my laser rangefinder doesn't work ( batteries, electronics etc.). My dope card has MOA for elevation and Mils for wind holdoffs. I only have to dial-up for elevation and quickly hold off in Mils for wind. I don't find it confusing at all. I agree that having MOA-MOA or MIL-MIL makes a lot of sense but I have a backup for range estimation.

MOA works fine for range estimation. Both mil and MOA do this fine. All you need to know is your target size.

I fully understand your reasoning for range finding. For wind hold offs a MOA reticle with the right dope can do the same thing. If you are trained and practice with both then of course it would not be confusing but it is obvious that most shooters use one or the other. I know both but to change the thought process quickly is not real easy. I put a fresh battery in my range finder before I hunt.

MIL/MIL.

Mil dot reticle and MOA turrets. I have both MIL/MIL and MIL/MOA and love the Mil dot scopes for ranging. But knowing the ballistics of your round makes holds, both over and under, makes me a better shot.

MOA / MOA !!

I have used and only owned scopes with MOA adjustments. I just recently bought my very first tactical scope for hunting. After MUCH research and consideration I decided to go with a Mil-Dot reticle and it only makes sense then to use Mil turrets.

I chose MIL/MIL because I absolutely love the Nightorce clear mil-dot reticle.

What do you love about the mildot reticle and how many times have you used it in an actual hunting situation.

MOA MOA all the way.

NO this is not a test. There are several well known optic companies that make a MOA/MIL scope. I just wanted to know how many of you readers use a scope like this and why.

I use mil reticle/ moa turret scope. I use it because it's the only scope that I could get where the reticle is accurate at 10 power. Some of my shots at varmints are quick shots so I hold over. I shoot varmints on 10 power. My ballistics chart gives me data in both mil and moa.

MOA MOA all the way.

I put that on page one, go find your own catchphrase.

MOA/MOA but that's all I've ever used so why mess with what works eh.
