Im going to try one for sure. Hoping the eye relief is plentiful. Give me an excuse to build another rifle.

I don’t count, I dial. To me MOA makes sense when it’s 1/4 based and close to inches like everything else I’m use to. I use inches and yards, so being able to convert inches to MOA is easy and fast for me. If I’m spotting through binos, a rangefinder, or a spotting scope I can make a very accurate guesstimate in MOA but have no clue what 6” is worth in MILs at 600, but in MOA I can say “hold 1 MOA left” when the shot misses 6” to the right. I can also still use my reticle in my scope to adjust for misses with MOA. So to me there’s literally zero reason to use MILs, 1/10ths aren’t any easier for me than 1/4s. To each their own.It’s just easier than counting to four repeatedly. My dope chart can be in either, but what’s easier to count to—6.2 or 21.25?
There are only really two advantages I see with MOA. The first is that the graduation is slightly finer. The other advantage is that they are rarely sold out and more likely to go on sale.
I mean if you’ve held out this long there might be no helping you, but I have to ask: what are the perceived advantages of MOA that make it so you could never switch?
Lol, I thought about that too. My thought process was, if I hate it, I can likely, easily sell it to someone on here.I said I was in for 2+. It seems good all the way around. And for $1000, I'd be sad if I only ordered one, and then loved it and had to wait 6 months for another one haha.
Exactly lol. But I just can’t foresee hating it honestly. I really liked most everything about the 3-18X44 Tenmile, and this seems better yet… and cheaper.Lol, I thought about that too. My thought process was, if I hate it, I can likely, easily sell it to someone on here.
Except the mils part.Exactly lol. But I just can’t foresee hating it honestly. I really liked most everything about the 3-18X44 Tenmile, and this seems better yet… and cheaper.
Oh it’s an easy change dude. This reticle having .2 mil increments for the first mil of wind is nice IMO. You just quit thinking in inches all together. Just measure shit with the reticle and think in .1 MilsExcept the mils part.. Gonna have to make sure my binos are on mils when these guns come out.

Yeah but your shot is 530 yards with a 6 mph crosswind what's your hold?I don’t count, I dial. To me MOA makes sense when it’s 1/4 based and close to inches like everything else I’m use to.

Look at my dope card laying next to me and not hope my wind hack math is right lolYeah but your shot is 530 yards with a 6 mph crosswind what's your hold?
Standard 6.5 creed type round would be about 3.3 mils up and about .5 over and it took me 5x longer to type this sentence then to come up with that answer.
I guess I worded that wrong. I find 1/10ths easier than 1/4’s. In my mind, it seems easier to turn the turret till I see 6 and go a click; rather than turn the turret till I see 21 and go a click.Why would you count to? Both #'s, you simply dial your scope to.
Lots of guys have 10-20 guns with scopes on them in MOA. Switching over is a pricey proposition. The juice has got to be worth the squeeze. Some guys think it is, others do not.
I agree, I don’t see much of a difference; But in my mind I have no idea how much 6” off the target is for either at, say, 837 yards. I would measure with the reticle for either solution. If I’m shooting with someone who is using MOA or has no subtensions I always give corrections in the universal unit of targets and smidges. “You’re a smidge low and a half target to the left.” If they have subtensions they can measure the target and get their corrections in a native MOA even if I spot in mills.I don’t count, I dial.

So could you just stop twisting it at 12? Just curious what makes a fella all in with a 3-12 but a 3-18 is a no go. 18 is more than I would need too but I figure I can just the magnification to the situation. Likely keeping it lower than expected and turn up if needed/wanted like everything else.I was all in at first when it was reported to be 3-12, but I have no use for a top end of 18. Even 15 would have been doable.
Oh, the humanity. I can't believe you would even suggest that.So could you just stop twisting it at 12?
