[QUOTE="AKPilot, post: 1936902, member: 95319"] It’s Just a number. Shooter MOA: 1 MOA = 1” @ 100 Yds 1 MIL = 3.6” @ 100 yards Derived from an angular unit of measure. I shoot both. Ballistic program spits out my hold and on MF w MOAR reticle just dial the number (My friends rifle). All 6 of my current LR scopes have TREMOR2 or TREMOR3 reticles which are MIL. The Christmas tree reticles work well in LR and ELR shooting especially when correcting for misses. The wind dots in TREMOR’s make shooting the the wind a breeze (ha, ha) My spotting scopes have HORUS reticles in them also which makes it easier for calling shots for other people shooting MIL. A lot of your higher end scopes are catering to military contracts which are all using MIL these days and most of your sniper teams using TREMOR3 or H59’s. It’s the convention because HORUS was a MIL guy and the reticles are very effective. these scopes tend to have Top Tier Glass and Turret mechanisms do to the conditions they are expected to perform in and as such are priced accordingly. Contrary to popular belief the more expensive scopes provide the lowest profit margins to the manufacturers. They make their money off the lower price point scopes often using “life time warranties” as an additional selling point. [/QUOTE]
