MRAD Vs MOA

Jack has just made the most cogent post on this topic in a long time. It’s the best post I’ve seen on any topic in quite a while. Make the post a sticky and every time someone has a scope reticle question they can be directed to it.

I am looking at scopes and notice that some have the option of MRAD or MOA for the same scopes. Is one more popular than the other?

MOA is more popular in USA in number of units sold. But that is because so many scopes go on ordinary hunting guns, 22s, etc. You are not likely to find a 4x MRAD scope for under $100, but MOA you will find dozens.

If you go with MRAD/MIL; for Gods sake get a scope with MIL adjustment, not MOA adjustments. Never understood why manufacturers would even produce a MIL scope/reticle with MOA adjust.

The people I shoot with use MIL/MIL system. If you have a spotter, both of you need to be using/speaking/familiar with the same system.
Hearing your spotter tell you- "come up 3 MOA" while you're using a MIL system/Mil adjust (or vice versa) is an exercise in frustration.

Unless you're a complete math geek and like the challenge.

MILS versus MOA

This was a very good description.

I went with Mils, but whatever you go with, stick with it until you become very experienced .
