Thread: Mil radian for dummies

PerazziSC3, on my long range rifle I have a Leupold MK4 scope that is a hybrid with Mil reticle and quarter MOA turret adjustments so I am constantly converting between the two. There are 3.438 MOA to a mil so as the nearest I can dial 3.438 MOA is 14 clicks. I simply convert using 1.4 as the root of my calculation e.g. If a spotter calls point three of a mil elevation adjustment I multiply three times one point four (4.2) and dial up four clicks. Of course the ideal thing is to have a Mil, Mil or MOA, MOA combination on your scope. As to your comment about one tenth of a mil being a course adjustment, the real life difference between a quarter MOA and one tenth of a Mil at one thousand yards is less than one and a half inches and is about 3.4cm. Not exactly Earth shattering unless you are a perfectionist (which I will freely admit to not being).
