[QUOTE="SSG Graybush, post: 3012765, member: 115190"] I like mils and illumination and ffp. If you go ffp imo illumination is necessary for dark woods at low magnification. But ffp is far superior to sfp because the reticle is always correct. As far as mil and moa goes, I use nothing but mils. I like everything being in tenth. Mil is .36" per click, moa is .25" per click. So moa can get you a slightly better zero, but it really doesn't matter, slightly(<.36") left and slightly(depends on flatness of the cartridge, but usually .75") high is were I zero. Spin drift will bring the bullet right(most barrels are righthand twist). Applied Ballistics(ballistic app) will adjust for zero, twist rate, environment. Just remember trash in trash out. Meaning your dope(ballistic data) is only as good as its inputs. By a Kestrel(3500 or better) and good range finder as well. Whether mils or moa pick one and stick with it. And Vortex and Leupold have a military/vet/le/fr discount, if you can get it. And cry once is the saying. Buy quality the first time. I wish I had half my guns but they were twice as nice. [/QUOTE]
