Thread: Poll metric or imperial

Its just a turn of a turret.

Not so, the MOA PMII only has around 65 moa in moa & around 95 moa in mil for elevation.

They only have so many clicks in their turrets, the mil click is a bigger/courser measurement.

I prefer the finer (therefore some would say more accurate) imperial measurement

Ha, didn't know that. Thought you could only wind a screw so far no matter how it was graduated.

The maximum error that can possibly be ascribed to click value is half of one click, as perfect data will put point of impact within that margin of point of aim.

For a scope that adjusts .1mil, this is <5cm at 1000m

For a scope that adjusts .25moa this is <3.45cm at 1000m

If that 1.55cm potential additional maximum aiming error at 1000 metres is responsible for a miss, there was never going to be a meaningful hit anyway.

Double the numbers for 2 kilometres if you wish and it's still utterly insignificant
