Moa to metric

[goblbustr]

Have an opportunity to purchase a hi end scope. However it's metric one click equals .5 cm at 100 meters. does anybody use the metric scope and how hard of a Time did you have using metric when you used MOA your whole life?

Being metric isn't the issue with that scope.

Most metric scopes are graduated in 1cm per 100meter increments ( 0.1 Mil ). This scope is graduated in increments that are twice as fine ( 0.05 Mil ). It would be exactly like a scope graduated in 1/8 moa clicks rather than 1/4 moa.

Great for a benchrest type target scope, not so much for hunting. So, even if you were familiar with Mils, this would be more of a learning curve. You would have to get used to 1 Mil being 20 clicks rather than 10 clicks.

What are you using it for?

MIL for the win, especially when you use metric everyday. So long using imperial, that I have to stop and think about it.

The milliradian, (MIL), adjustment isn't really related to metric. It's a different unit for measuring angles.

UH oh, you did it now.

Make up a cheat sheet for the cm clicks to inch at each 100yrds

So why are groups always measured in MOA? Never see anyone post that their rifle shoots 0.2mil at 200yards...

For hunting Id want a 10 Mil rev turret

While you are right, it is an angular measurement. It is base 10 like metric, so they work together very well.

I agree. But that doesn't make it metric.

In a word...Tradition.

The fact that MOA is close to an inch at 100 yards is a familiar, if inexact, "metric" for comparison.
