How do you know SWFA mil or moa

[startrek1761d]

Bought a used swfa 10x no box. Turrets don't say mil or moa.

Yours is moa. You can tell because moa is in quarters (1/4) per whole increment where's as mils is 10 per whole increment.

That said, depending on the model, your reticle might be mils. So, have fun learning to convert on the fly.

Can you take a pic of the reticle?

I don't recall SWFA making a MOA reticle for this scope, all I've seen are mildots.
They DO make an MOA reticle - see below.

It is a MOA, like 4 clicks of .25 MOA per each MOA. Mil Rad would be 10 clicks of .1 mil rad for each mil rad.
Good more than adequate tough scope.

Seems like a MOA .

MOA turrets. Now you'll have to tell us if it has a mildot reticle or moaquad. I'm guessing it's mildot reticle. http://www.opticstalk.com/uploads/6137/ss10X42Subsbig.jpg

It's the same here; it must be something new. I have an older 10X, 16X, 20X, and 5-20, and all of them are MIL.

It's a MOA. A MOA reticle normally has 4 lines between each number, a MIL has 10 lines between each number. For MOA, each line is .25 (1/4th) of a MOA. For MIL, each line is 0.1 (1/10th) of a MIL (milliradian).

An exception is an 1/8th MOA scope that has 8 lines between each number, but they are rarer.

I don't have SWFA history records per se, but off the top of my head, the moa quad has been around since at least 2017.

I don't either, but the newest from the list is the 5-20, and my records show it was purchased used on 09/16/14.
