Is there still anyone who would buy MOA/MOA scope over Mil/Mil scope? If so why?
Preferably a reason that is not "always used MOA/don't understand Mil".

Places where the target system scores and relates to MOA such as FTR. Trust me converting Mils to MOA when someone is giving you windages and elevation in MOA and you are converting it in your head is just one more level of thinking you dont need.
my brain is wired in moa. As @Mauser308 states you get a finer adjustment with moa. Regardless of which you choose you must calibrate/validate for scope dial up adjustments.
1/4 MOA is 0.7 cm at 100m. 0.1mil is 1cm at 100m, 3mm difference, or less than 1/9th MOA. It makes no difference to anyone but bench rest competition shooters. If it matters that much there are MIL scopes with 0.05mil adjustment.
@Mauser308, the "math" is a lot more complex than you actually think...
As stated, one measure is roughly 6.35mm at 100 yds. The other is 10mm at 100m. Massive difference, right ?
Well, not really. because most people shoot projectiles that are around 6mm or more in diameter.
VERY FEW people can actually shoot well enough to consistently keep 10 shots within a 1 MOA ring. Don't believe me ? Go look at top level F-class scores, and tell me how many 60's are shot all day long at varying ranges.
Now you start to add something called dispersion, the random fall of your shot within the group.
When you look at the size of movement of the center of your group by either 1/4 MOA or 1/10 MRAD, the difference between the two becomes almost meaningless.
People may think they are actually moving individual shots around by fractions of a MOA or MRAD, but they are kidding themselves....
P.S. I've shot F-class for New Zealand, and did use an 1/8 scope, but mainly for elevation, not windage.

OK, humour me here. Does 1 moa equal one inch at 100 yards? So my 1/4" @100y scope is Moa?

1 MOA @ 100yds = 1.047 inches.
Then you've got the issue where some scope turrets are marked in, eg 1 click = 1/4 MOA, whilst others are marked 1 click = 1/4 inch. And obviously there are also 1/8 click scopes.
I'm in the MOA camp due to a background in NRA Fullbore, F Class and FTR shooting.
I have no trouble understanding MRAD it's just isn't appropriate when shooting at electronic target systems (Silver Mountain and Target Master) in use in NZ which are all set up in MOA grids.
Edit: Ha, beaten by 6x47
That 1.047 number looks familiar with machining. Something to do with converting inches to mm.
No, just checked, 0.03937 inch equals one mm.
