    And I wont be shooting the Mother-In-Law either.

    Another thing to factor in is the price ranges of scopes. Many of the low to mid price range scopes you can buy here are available in MOA but not in MIL. If I could get MIL in my price bracket I would. But frankly as I stated earlier either is fine, there really is sod all between them.
    There are only three types of people in this world. Those that can count, and those that can't!

    His poll allowed multiple option selection. It's not a 100% sum poll.

    Quite, perhaps I shouldn't attempt humour unless it is 100% true.

    Nothing like showing your appreciation of wit by dumping a fact smack on top of it.

    The worst statistic of the lot is how many people actually give a shit.
    I'm sure no one does the raw math in their head or on a notepad in the field so really the whole argument is moot.
    Punch the distance into your phone or whatever. Spits out a number of turns on the scope to which you comply with and then pull the trigger. Even then, half the figures are best guess.
    I prefer Mil as it is a lot more understandable to me, but scope choice and budgets don't always work my way.

    The range of what we think and do is limited by what we fail to notice. And because we fail to notice that we fail to notice, there is little we can do to change; until we notice how failing to notice shapes our thoughts and deeds
