milrad vs MOA scope question

[Younggun]

Looking at scopes for a use that will actually require compensating for range/wind, etc. I suddenly realized anything I've ever done as far as adjusting was MOA and now that I'm considering aMildot scop I realize that that have nothing to do with moa. Yes I could sit there with a calculator or pencil and paper but wondering if there is a better way. Also saw a couple of .1 mil adjustable scopes.

What would you reccomend for shooting out to 1000 yrds/meters as far as reticle type and calculating for bullet drop.

They are using a 4.5-14x scope for 1000 yds.?

The BORS will fit the 8.5-25 mark 4.

Some MFGs make MIL/MIL scopes. US Optics for example. I think NF is doing it also.

I like MOA turrets and reticule because it makes calcs easier for me. If you go Mil think and work in mils. Use a mil dot master sliding computer.
Its best if you don't try to convert back to inches or clicks. Just work in whatever scale of measurement you can. Say 16" target covers 2 MOA so it ranges at 800 yards or the gun is zeroed at 100 and you need to dope for 400 say that's 12". Just twist the turret up 3MOA. It's easy.

MIL? Not so much. I mean target is 16" and covers 2 mils that's 3.6" to the mil times 2... Carry the one is oh he'll! You already got shot!

I think it really depends on your reticle. If I was going mil reticle, I would do mil turret.

Same/same

If you have a mil reticle use mil turrets and vice versa.

SWFA has some mil mil scopes in the Super Sniper line. Awesome glass for the price.

6400 mils in a 360 degree circle.

That is 17.77 mils in one degree.

Blame the French!

Alittle more than I wanted to spend

Looks like the simplest method I've seen, gonna start looking for some MOA reticle scopes.

Thanks for the help
