[QUOTE="LouBoyd, post: 286969, member: 9253"] PeterB: Since your scope is 10-40x and reads in mils (milliradians) at 10x it will read exactly in inches per dot spacing at 100 yards if you set it at 36x magnification. You then simply estimate the number of inches the portion of the object you're looking at is high or wide between any two adjacent dots. That number is the distance to the object in hundreds of yards. That works well for people used to thinking in inches and yards. For people who are used to the metric system Mils are easier. The limit on accuracy is only how accurately you can judge the physical size of the objects. That's why I use laser rangefinders instead. [/QUOTE]
