[QUOTE="ptrlcop, post: 1004556, member: 84910"] Matching reticle and turrets are the ONLY way to go, anything else is foolish. With that said, I think mils is a more robust system particularly when you discover that many "MOA" turrets are actually IPHY(inch per hundred yards) which leaves you with a reticle that almost but not quite matches your turrets. Mils becomes even more attractive if you use meters(which I don't, because 'merica) because your .1mil adjustments will a true cm per 100 meters. If you think in the imperial measurement system MOA will initially be easier. After while though the decimal base of mils becomes easier for math in your head. One milliradian is an angle which subtends an arc whose length is 1/1000th of the distance from the vertex. In other words, one milliradian subtends an arc whose length is: 1 yard at 1000 yards. 1 meter at 1000 meters. 1 mile at 1000 miles. 1 league at 1000 leagues. 1 fathom at 1000 fathoms. 1 inch at 1000 inches. 1 foot at 1000 feet. 1 lightyear at 1000 lightyears. 1 attoparsec at 1000 attoparsecs. 3.6 inches at 3600 inches (100 yards).
