[QUOTE="SBruce, post: 477776, member: 21068"] Absolutely, Mildot holdover [U]can be[/U] accurate. But as you've seen, a mil is quite a huge amount really. We need to break down the mil to 1/10's to be precise. Breaking down a mil to 1/10 [U]visually[/U] really isn't nearly as easy as breaking down a minute by 1/3. The resulting end product is virtually the same for both 1/10 mil and 1/3 minute. Assuming you'd like to try holdover technique, I recommend a MOA or IPHY reticle if you want to truely be precise as possible. You can always still dial the scope if you want to. Only downside I've [U]ever[/U] heard of MOA reticles is that they appear cluttered......? Guess it depends on who you are and what you're used to. Personally, I like them and have been using them for about 15 years now. I can't believe so many people got sucked into the mildot system. (actually I can, it was hard to find moa reticles up till recently). NightForce has been making them for alot of years, but I don't think others really have. [/QUOTE]
