[QUOTE="LouBoyd, post: 540326, member: 9253"] If you want long range accuracy spend your time learning to dope wind, not worrying over MILs vs MOA. A ballistic calculator can handle either system with no error. My advice is to pick either system (usually the one you're most familiar with) and stick with it for all of your firearms. You may be able to tell a MIL from an MOA reticle visually, but it's difficult to tell 1/10 MIL from 1/4 MOA target knobs by feel. Not realizing which you're using will guarantee misses. I've used 1/4 MOA target knobs with MIL-Dot reticles for about 30 years. The Baush & Lomb 4000 10x40 mil-dot was the first I used and is still a good scope. I have many other scopes with MOA knobs, so I really don't want a scope with MIL knobs. It woud be very confusing. That's why I prefer MOA target knobs. I've recently started using Horus mil-grid reticles which eliminates the need for twiddling target knobs and counting clicks. My favorite is the H37 which gives two degrees of of drop capability. It's a much faster system than using target knobs but gives the same precision with less chance of making errors. The only problem is that no one (including Horus) has made a scope which allows the reticle to be used to it's full capability.. For that the eyepiece needs a vertical offset adjustment which no manufacturer has offered. [/QUOTE]
