Is there anyone who prefers MOA vs MIls for hunting purposes?

Same.. Range, dial and shoot. Mils or moa. Same, same.

I don't think most people can shoot the 0.1" difference honestly. If you're a world-class benchrest shooter, go MOA.

Not exactly what I meant. There is probably more than .1 difference in my hold from on shot group till the next. How many mils is in 1/2 inch. You are either over or under. That is not significant at 100 yards. But the farther you get out the more it grows. You take into consideration wind, distance and elevation error and just plain ole human error and it grows any more. I’m not a world class bench shooter.

If that mattered to any practical degree, I feel like 99% of the PRS guys wouldn't be using MILs. Or I guess if you're a person who cares about what the military does, them too.

I am a moa guy but I can assure you the .11" difference in a tenth of a mil vs. a 1/4 moa is not noticeable by 99.9% of people. It is not really a reason to shoot moa over mil.

As long as the reticle matches the turrets, it works.

I personally think mil and base 10 is easier, despite being old, but I understand people not wanting to switch if they have been using MOA since the 80's

Some things have been said in this thread that opened my eyes to better understanding. I have both mil and moa scopes and can use either with dope. In my opinion Mil is a better small number dialing than moa but Moa is more precise. Moa seem easier for a more precise zero at 100 yards because of measurements in .25 inch vs .36 inches.

The largest possible difference in zero POI between .25 MOA and .1 mil adjustments is .055” at 100 yards. You are not adjusting your zero to that level.
