[QUOTE="bruce_ventura, post: 894004, member: 34084"] Both the thread pitch and the number of clicks per rev are generally different between the two. If you train yourself to use mil/mil, then range estimating and correcting missed shots will be easier in the long run. That's because the math is so easy to do in your head. One mrad always represents a distance equal to the range divided by 1,000. One mrad at 100 m range is 100 mm, or 10 cm, or 4". That math is easy for me. It helps a lot if you can think in terms of meters and centimeters instead of yards and inches. Converting fractions of a yard to inches is more complicated for my brain. Opinions vary widely in this issue. If you're not comfortable with a metric system and can return the scope, then that is the easy route. [/QUOTE]
