Nightforce scope

[Sandman58]

When I attended sniper school we were using the M21 system. The scopes in those days were adequate but nothing as high tech as the scopes available today. I recently purchased a Nightforce 3.5 - 15X tactical scope and can't get over it's clarity. I am self taught in the use of Mil-dot scopes and find them to be excellent, I completely understand the math when we are talking about MOAs. This particular scope however is not in quarter minutes, half minutes or full minutes of angle adjustments. This particular scope adjusts in Mil-Rads. Can someone point me in the right direction as to where I can educate myself a little better in the use of mil-rads? The user manual that came with the scope is a little vague. Thanks I appreciate your help.

Re: Nightforce scope

1 Mil is 3.6" @ 100
1 MOA is 1.047" @ 100
3.6 divided by 1.047 = 3.438

1 Mil is 3.438 MOA.

Your scope has .1 Mil adjustments.

Re: Nightforce scope

So everything is figured in tenths?

Re: Nightforce scope

No, everything is is Mils: Your reticle and your knobs measure in the same angular units. A tenth of a Mil is .3438 MOA. Ten adjustments on the knob is one Mil [instead of four 1/4 minute adjustments being one MOA or two 1/2 Minute adjustments being one MOA].
