[QUOTE="Jon A, post: 222119, member: 319"] The one that's easier to use in the field is the one you like the best and have practiced with the most. Both can work equally well, it's a matter of preference. What's most helpful is that the reticle and knobs match, be they Mil or MOA. [I]My[/I] preference is for Mils for several reasons. I like the click value size of .1 Mil for what I do, right in between 1/4 and 1/2 MOA and being in decimal form it makes for a nice svelte dropcharts as everything is pretty much two simple digits (3.7 Mils instead of 12.75 or 12 3/4 or 12+3 MOA for example) until you get to crazy ranges: [IMG]http://www.jonaadland.com/Hunting/A-Bolt/A-Bolt/Drop2007.jpg[/IMG] Another thing is just how common Mildot scopes and spotters are vs. MOA--you'll be compatible with more people spotting for you when you can take corrections in Mils (not even counting military). It's pretty universal. But like I said, that's just my preference. There's nothing keeping MOA combos from working just as well. Getting comfortable with a system and practicing with it is more important than which one it is. [/QUOTE]
