[QUOTE="edward hogan, post: 1317009, member: 1341"] MIL-Radian is 3.6" at 100yds.... 1/10mil is .36" Does your MOA reticle actually move at the correct fractional value? 1/4moa = .262 1/8moa = .131 Probably NOT. A Euro turret is often 1 cm per click at 100 meters 2.54cm = 1" Probably the Mil-Radian system is easiest understood and most consistently easiest to employ in the field. If you are trying to get precision bullet placements and not doing the complex moa fractional conversions, at significant distance with low BC or low velocity bullets; you're gonna be off. Shooting a .308win sighted in at 100yds which has 360" drop at 800yds would mean 45moa: IF moa was 1" at 100, but it's not... Fractions matter at all distances. One less decimal place to convert to if you are using Mil-Rad. Does it matter on hunting scope on large game animal target? Probably not... If you are a meat hunter and look to break spinal column or do other precision placement then maybe so... One other thing: Until you test your scope with 100yd zero, you can't be sure you will have even 50% of your total elevation range of adjustment. Might only have 55 or 60moa out of the 125 total range after socpe is zeroed. [/QUOTE]
