Many thanks, very new to shooting here in France, at the moment just shooting to 300m at my local range . Your explanation nice and easy to understand. 👍🇫🇷

Always used MOA but will be making the switch to MILs, biggest reason is everyone I shoot with uses MILs, I'm still confused on some things but everyone says once it clicks it's easier 🤷🏻‍♂️ Good stuff from across the world 🇺🇸👊🏼

I grew up with SFP hunting scopes, started using them for my desire for long range. Great explanation Mark, I personally think it helps knowing both but I’ve adopted the mil reticles for just ease of dialing.on longer ranges, and ease of remembering.

[jeremiahdarling]

Great explanation of the differences, probably the best I've seen so far. Thank you!

I went to a local gun shop and talked to the gunsmith about a possible build. He is also a PRS competitor. When i nentioned the scope with 120 MOA of elevation adjustment, i requested a 60 MOA rail. He said i would have to zero at 1000 yards and asked why i would do that. I just put his scribbled estimate in my pocket and left.

Great video as always, Mark. Thanks.

I really appreciate your practical use, view and explanation of topics discussed in your videos. It’s so irritating when people over explain to try to sound smart. Good job man!

[TalonsKrafts]

Thanks for simplifying the difference between the two. I’ve watched a few vids from others on the specifics of each and have been struggling to decide which I want to stick with. Your video has definitely given me more to think about but in a more logical manor. I know the accuracy of both is dependent on many factors, my skill being one of them.

[jpgreewal]

Thank you have educated me..
I've heard this explained previosly by other Shooters but never articulated in such an easy to digest manner, learnt so much just from this one video.

[michaelreed]

Perfect timing, I was trying to explain this to a buddy new to shooting just the other day. Thanks and cheers!

Glad to see the details. I spent 30 years in the military and so the metric system is abundant. But now (I’m retired, my friends are yards abundant). Talk about messy for me.

Basically my solution is a hunting reticle for hunting either ranges of yards and meters (~300 meters or yards) but my fun gun is a 6.5CM with a Schmidt and Bender PMii in mills. The older I get (now 60) the harder it is to float back and forth. But I’m still having fun so I don’t care at this point.

Cheers

Thanks Mark. Best explanation of mil I’ve ever heard. Combined with the visual aid, it worked well.

[conservativesniperhunter]

Well thought out explanation of the differences between MIL & MOA . The only reason i will probably go with a Mil Rad for my next long range rifle is simply because of less click adjustments, rotation and easier to see and read the tick marks on the dial than a Moa scope .

[kubikariYOU]

Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us.

In Sweden we do a lot of competitions where we mil targets at unknown distances on the clock out to at least 1300 meters. Usually done at competitions together with the military. Works fine with the right tools and training.

[alfredhughes]

Great explanation of the two. I am an engineer, and believe it or not, it helped to remind me about MOA. In my line on engineering, we primarily work in metric because it is somewhat easier for sharing and receiving information from around the world.
When I was thinking about MOA, I had forgotten that in 1 degree there are 60 minutes and in 1 minute there are 60 seconds.
It my sound stupid that I had forgot but it happens. Anyway, thanks for the video. To easy your mind, I don't design or build bridges. Lol.

[grumpygruntx]

Definitely one of the better ways to explain it.

[collinmckamy]

Always excellent videos. I have learned tons from you. Thank you

Switched over from MOA to MIL this year. Primary reason slightly less clicks to dial and a little quicker to communicate solution from spotter to shooter. In hunting, this reduced time can be the difference from filling freezer or not.

Our range finder returns solution in 1/10 mils, and it would return 12.85 MOA, so now spotter has to decide between and 12.75 and 13.0 and this takes a little time and takes more time to communicate a bigger number to shooter whispering where it can be hard to hear the bigger number.

[eyesintheskies]

Thanks for helping out a lot of folk who have been scratching theyre head over this one.👍
I’m currently in the market for a second scope and am tempted by milliradian but it’s just dawned on me that my other scope is moa and that having one of each and having to swap mindset when I swap rifles is probably gunna cause problems.
So decision made!

[davegrimshaw]

Cheers guys, good explanation as always 👍I'll stick to MOA, it's what i know..
Can't teach an old dog new tricks 😂
