Anyone have both mil and moa scopes?

I have both but I prefer MIL. I just find those SWFA scopes to work so well that the MOA scopes don’t get used much.

You guys are probably right, it doesn't matter too much.

This is wrong bud. Sorry. They are both measurement of angles nothing more. There isn't any magic to it. A mil scope is 3.6" at 100 yards with 10 click values. a MOA is 1.047" at 100 yards with 4 click values on most scopes.

I use both but I am switching to mils. I still range in yards and think in inches.

He's not all wrong, 1 mil @ 100m is 10cm, 1mil @ 1000m is 100cm or 1 meter. Very similar to the rough estimate of 1moa @ 100y is 1" and 1moa @ 1000y is 10". If a guy uses meters for distance and cm or m for drops it's a pretty simple formula. Converting your inch drop to mils is a few more steps. I run both mil and moa, but I get my dope from my kilo 2400abm and shooter apps, which automatically convert forgive optic of mil or moa.

I have both, Mil over MOA for sure.

A really good article, easy read; basically repeats what most above said - it doesn't matter.

Mil scopes trade more quickly on auction sites and classified forums since they are more common.
