[QUOTE="Pete Lincoln, post: 20281, member: 2245"] Its all a question of numbers calculations, moa reticles and adjustments work fine, you could use a furlong reticle and half furlong adjustments and it would still work. I like the miliradians because its all computation of 1's and 10's. i range in meters, 1 miliradian is 1m at 1000m, 1/10th miliradian is 1cm at 100m and 10 cm at 1000m, a man is approx 1m from waiste to top of head (hight differences are usualy more in the leg dept). a Roe deer is approx 1 miliradian at 250 meters top to bottom of body. I can't understand why the US military range in meters and kilometers and then insist on converting back to fractions of inches and yards and adjusting in MOA. it adds a step to the process that is unnessecary. I learned to range in m and km as a soldier, and it all just makes sense to stay metric, it just works easier. Pete [/QUOTE]
