[QUOTE="mark223, post: 341999, member: 16109"] I have extensively used MIL scopes when I was in the Army and MOA scopes as a police officer. [B]Frankly there is little point in using the MIL because[/B] to accurately and more important, "Quickly" range or measure target size (like racks) [B]you need to convert mils to moa anyway[/B]. (Mils were originall used for artillery and other indirect fire weapons.) IE.. to find range, divide size (like an 18" body deer), by MOA and you have the range in 100's of yards. so a deer the measures 2.5 MOA equals 18/2.5 = 7.2 Range is 720 yards. One simple 5th grade math problem and you are done. Thats all there is to it. For MILs your do a 4 step complicated thing or use a mildot master or mini computer etc. .... Anyway, I like and trust the MOA more than the other methods. [/QUOTE]
