What is the difference between MIL and Moa?

The correct answer here is 1 MOA equals 1 minute of angle and 1 Mil equals one milliradian. MOA and MIL are not a measurement of inches, feet, yards, centimeters or meters (linear measurements). 1 degree equals 60 MOA, or 17.78 MILS. At a given distance of 100 yards, 1 MOA will equate to 1.047”.

What is the difference between MIL Dot and BDC?

While a BDC reticle offers the fastest first-shot time, a MIL or MOA reticle can be fine tuned for any caliber or distance. When making your choice, remember the basics. A talented marksman can get the most out of any scope, so don’t get too tripped up in “optimization”.

How do BDC scopes work?

BDC scopes work by using a reticle pattern that predicts how much a bullet will drop at a given range. The idea is that, when your rifle is zeroed a certain range, usually 100 yards, the other aiming points will correspond to the bullet’s impact at longer ranges.

Are mils or MOA better?

For the benchrest shooter focusing on small targets at close range, MOA might be the better choice. If you were shooting . 25” targets at 100 yards, a Mil-based scope with . 36” clicks would move you from one side of the bullseye to the other.
