Along with the link that Chopaka81 supplies, here are 3 more for you to wrap your eyes and brain around.

Good luck.

I have few problems with MilDots but am having trouble with my S&B metric scope, I have to rethink 3.6" to 10cm.

Practice, it's only practice.

Good luck.

The TMR also has smaller increment tic marks at the outer ends that allow direct measurement and easy resolution to .2 mil, and smaller increments yet can be eyeballed.

FWIW, I make up a data book page and use that with the mil marks for a quickly available holdover chart. I have various zero ranges set up, depending on my expected shots. This page is correct when I dial my scope to a 400 yard zero - the crosshair intersection is 400, and my holdover/holdunder points are marked on my diagram:

Thanks guys,

Is it worth getting the Nightforce NSX 5.5-25 instead of the Mark4? Its a extra $400.

And if so, what reticle is good that comes in the NSX. Something thats easy to use and good for longrange

I have no hands on experience with the NF scopes, however from what I undersatnd and have read they are the standard which everyone seems to be comparing other scopes too.

Some of the pluses for the NF is to 10MOA/full turn (rotation) of the turret, easier to keep track of where you are instead of counting in 15's.

You get what you pay for I guess.

Have fun!
