6.5/284 match rifle.
Is this a tube gun or something similar?
Planning a long range precision rifle myself. I'm going with a Savage in 338 Win Mag. Upgrades and additions will be made as time and money(especially money) allow.
Difficult to say now as it was built a few years ago.What does a rig like that cost Litlratt.
I have a questions about mils.... What exactly are they? Do they have a specific size? The scope im looking at is FFP so the mil will always be the same no matter what magnifcation. But im still not sure what the exact measurement of a mil is. Maybe im overthinking this
there is always a big debate of whats better mils or moa. and the bottom line is it doesn't matter. they are both units of measurement. moa is 1.047 inches at 100 yds (shooters moa is 1 inch at 100 yds) a mill is 3.6 inches at 100 yds. each will be used to determine range of a known size traget and it will be used for corrections. for me its easier mathmatically to use moa. i can use mills but i have to think about it a little longer. on a ffp scope no matter what the power setting at 1000 yds if you have 1 shooters moa hash marks the distance between will be 10 inches. if you have a mil scope the distance between the center of 1 mil to the center of the next will be 36 inches. usually mils are adjusted in 1/10th of a mill (.36 inches). moa is adjusted in 1/4 moa (.25 inches) or 1/8th moa for a target scope (.125 inches). the military uses mils so most shooters who learned how to shoot in the military are usto mils.
mil stands for millionth. moa is minute of angle so the dirrection you are looking is 0 degrees. straight behind you is 180 degrees. to your right is 90 degrees and to your left is 270 degrees. if you take 1 degree and break it down to 60 that is a minute. so as you go further out the pie gets bigger meaning its 1 inch at 100 yds and 2 inches at 200yds and 30 at 3000 yds. the .047 throws off the math a little but most folks use the shooters moa i mentioned further. its kind of hard to explain in type. give me a call if you have questions. 765-580-0986

so at 1000 yards every mill will be appx 4"? same thing at 100 and so on? and i thought you did a really nice job and desribing that. im sure we'll talk more on it before i buy that scope
Now if you really want to get confused, get a scope with the TMR reticle (Tactical Milling Reticle) and MOA adjustment knobs. I use the TRM hash marks to range objects and determine size, but I use MOA adjustments because the math is easier for me. I have the Leupold MK IV 8.5 X 25 with Front Focal Plane set up that way.
A nice feature of the TMR reticle is that you can count hash marks and use them instead of the cross hairs and you don't have to dial in MOA adjustments. On my AR010T in .308, I have the scope set 1" high at 100 yards, it is dead on at 200 yards. I hold one hash below the cross hairs at 300 yards, 3 hash marks below at 400 yards and 6 hash marks below at 500 yards. I can shoot any distance from 0 to 500 yards without touching the elevation knob.
