[QUOTE="Brent, post: 15423, member: 99"] Hey Luke, I'm not sure I understand how you can do this in increments still. Walk me through it using your example if you would. My dad uses the mil-dot in several of his but I've never taken to them myself. [B]I can walk that out in the .05 increments as needed...e.g., 1.5,1.55,1.6,1.65,...etc[/B] Tell me how you'd measure each of those increments with what you'd be using as a reference with each one. The R2's bars that are 2 moa apart can be visually split in half and then again 5 equal times for real .2 moa increments. This is really pretty easy to get that accurate. Sometimes you can even see it isn't falling on a "visualized" .2 moa line and falls in between, so it can be more accurate than this even, I suppose. This is especially true if the target has really defined edges. At this point I still see the R2 as being quicker to get a measurement, more accurate and quicker to figure the range in your head with the numbers you get. A custom modified R2 I'd like to see would add bars placed at 1 moa increments being 1 moa wide instead of 2, with bars placed at .5 moa increments being .5 moa wide and this one being a finer line as well, .1 moa width would be good.
