[QUOTE="David_h, post: 3012899, member: 123918"] I'll be learning more about each in an upcoming long range class. My guess is that I'll probably stick to MOA and second focal plane since that is what I have on all platforms. Don't forget that illumination can be turned off on many scopes. I have it but would only use it when it is too dark to quickly find the black reticle against dark background; otherwise it stays off. I'm guessing a great advantage of FFP and MIL is the ability to quickly make mental calculations from the reticle hash marks. Could be useful for making large corrections on followup shots too? For my hunting, if target is beyond 250 yards I'll range it and dial the turret; and that will work fine regardless of the power setting in SFP. Rarely will I get more than a second shot off at same target. From my surveying world I was also used to degrees, minutes, and seconds for angle measurements; which is the basis for MOA. [/QUOTE]
