That's a rather coarse adjustment.

I think the M5 turrents are actually 0.1 mil, which is 1 cm at a distance of 100 meters, and 3.6 inches at 1000 yards.

But I wish people would just get used to referring them in milliradians.
 
Re: Leupold MK4 - MOA to MILs factory conversion.

Not sure if you're just using light-hearted sarcasm or not Lindy, but I think he just missed the "c" key when he typed "1 m" for the adjustment, LOL.

And I agree, just use 0.1mil when referring to the adjustment per click. There's enough stuff that's not standardized in this hobby/industry that it really takes a while for a new shooter to sort through it all. Doh!

Holy mother of god! they want $2300 for a FFP mil/mil Suckpold? They are dreaming if they think anyone is going to pay that ammount when there is USO and NF for the same price (or less)
