    Greetings All,
    Anybody who has grown up in NZ and is under the age of about 60 has had their entire education in SI metric. At 70 plus I started in the UK units, used SI metric at school for physics in the mid 60's and then back to the old units until 1974 when we started using SI metric in architectural draughting. While still fluent in both I vastly prefer SI metric and all of my measuring kit other than my powder scales are metric. Once you work in metric the old UK units look archaic, especially when scrambled with US units. Only two of my scopes have 0.1 mrad clicks, one only approximate (1/3MOA). Any new ones from here will be 0.1 mrad. Some seem to have got mil and milliradians scrambled in their minds, one milliradian (mrad allways all lower case) is 100mm at 100 metres where one mil is 98 mm at 100 metres. Scopes are likely all mrad regardless of what is engraved on the dial.
    Regards Grandpamac.
