[QUOTE="dfanonymous, post: 1791264, member: 97050"] MOA is angular, mils is angular. It’s not linear. So yes, give the other shooter the angular correction. Yes using the reticle is the best way to do this. That was the point of my post. You don’t need to switch to different scopes or over think it converting inches. Use the angular measurement. The more direct explanation was dogrockets post to you’re recent experience. That’s one of the reasons the reticle is there, so you can say 2 mils high, .9 mils left based on what you see. I’m not saying it’s wrong to know that 1 moa is 10.47 inches at 1000y, 1mil= 36 inches @ 1000 or something. what I’m saying is, how often does it matter if you’re not doing the more complex stuff.. Your solution is going to be whatever it is, you don’t need to know how many inches to bring up. Fire correction you’re still going to want to measure in a reticle because I’ve been shooting a long time, and I can guess feet and inches at distance, but I know exactly my correction is if I measure using the reticle and index accordingly instead of chasing what 3 inches looks like at a mile. Works at distance or during zero. Saves time then counting inches and converting it to anything either way. Just a more practicle way of going about using a scope in general. [/QUOTE]
