Re: Mil or MOA ?
Glad IPHY works for you, but again, an individuals ability to use one product doesn't do the majority any good when there is no IPHY or MOA standard across scopes. It severely limits their buying options.
When one can buy a $600 Super Sniper that is Mil / Mil or a even a Falcon Menace and know that the mils are correct, and in 10th that says a lot and something the MOA community doesn't have.
As well you fail to realize, most people are taught, 1 MOA @ 100, 2 @ 200, 3 @ 300, etc, and always attempt to think of MOA in those terms and multiple the amount. It;s never as cut and dry as you think, and just because it works for you, especially in "ranging" well that doesn't mean it will work for people who have mixed scopes or that don't know whether their scope is SMOA, or TMOA especially when Customer Service for most companies don't even have a clue themselves. If they can't get it right, how do you expect part time shooters too.
Funny how you went right to "ranging" like always, which is such a small percentage of anything. It's 2009, almost 2010... get a laser, and spend the $4.99 and buy new batteries everytime you go out for a competition. Ranging is a lame excuse when I can look at a target and say, "I think it is between 500 and 600 yards, then dial on a 4 MIls and shoot never having to range a thing... not to mention I can tape a simple chart on my scope cap:
Look ranging problem solved with no extra work.
Keep using what makes you happy, but for a new shooter, or a novice shooter, Mils are easier as their is no bastardization of the unit like there is with MOA.
