Ever go against your own advice?
Well, I've advised many people not to buy a scope that has Moa turrets and Mil reticle, or vice versa. I probably will continue to give that advice, but I intentionally bought a new FFP scope with Moa turrets and Mil recticle.
So here's my reasoning:
The rifle I'm putting it on will be mostly used for hunting, most of which is usually 300yds or less. At these distances, for hunting purposes, there's not enough difference between a 1/10 mil and 1/4 moa to matter.
When you get out to 600yds, it's still close enough to not really matter much. 1/10 mill is 2.16", 1/4 Moa is 1.57" .
But for long range competition shooting, which I'm inching towards, the difference is enough to matter. So I basically decided to get this scope to force myself to get proficient at doing the conversion in my head, while still being usefulfor hunting.
I know there are conversion calculators that will do this for me, but I don't like relying on such things. I'm a "still do long division on paper" kind of guy, so I'm making myself learn this the hard way.
Any thoughts on my insanity, or am I the only one who thinks like this?
