Thread: Milrad scope options

Greetings Cameron,
Having studied Physics in my last year of High School (1965) in SI Metric and Mechanics the following year in feet and pounds I was utterly convinced of the superiority of the metric system at an early age. Milli radians, correct abbreviation mrad allows easy scope dial corrections an intermediate ranges as you appear to have discovered. Metric Leupold scopes at least are calibrated in mrads and the knobs are so marked. Milrad is a corruption of two units, the mrad and the Mil. The Mil is an adaption of the mrad for military use and is about 2% smaller. As there are an odd number of mrads in a complete circle, something that gun layers couldn't tolerate. Most who have tried mrad based scopes, especially those with first focal plane reticles won't go back. I'm one of them
