MOA or MRAD, & Why?

(1/4) > >>

TeacherMan:
Looking at a couple of different Vortex scopes, they come in MOA or MRAD. This will be the first time I've used an adjustable scope, building a mid-grade distance rifle. Basically, doing what my budget can afford. What would you choose and why? Or does it matter if you have the conversions and app?

Mtnwalker:
I still shoot MOA but it seems like mils are gaining more and more popularity in the long range hunting world. Supposedly it is a more intuitive system I just haven't taken the time to learn it

HUNT JR:
In my mind it really does not matter if you are using a rangefinder that provides ballistics. I use MOA and it works for me. I can convert the MOA numbers pretty quickly and have no issues.

I think Mil's is technically fewer "clicks" as .1 mil is .36 or whatever inches at 100 and most scopes are 1/4 moa so about .25 inches at 100 so when you dial out you spin the turret a little less.

I think you pick a system and learn it as they both can be effective.

bowman:
Mil is a lot easier for wind brackets and there is a pretty cool quick drop method with mils that works for a lot of cartridges to mid distances.

jrebel:
I’m a MOA guy and I have to many scopes to change at this point.  To me it is super easy, but that’s because that’s what I’ve learned in.   MRAD guys will tell the MRAD is the only way to go.  When I have ask them why????  It’s the same answer, because it’s easier??    :dunno: :dunno: :chuckle:

Pick your poison and learn it well….either will work.
