There's a scientific way of explaining the difference between MOA and MRAD, but what does any of that mean when it actually comes to shooting? Corey breaks down the practical differences between MOA and MRAD and how they relate to long-range shooters and their equipment. Everyone learns topics like these differently, so if there's still question marks swirling around your brain about MOA and MRAD after this podcast, let us know and maybe it's material for a future podcast!

Just went through this and purchased two scopes from vortex. Selected both in MOA, wish I would have selected MIL for my heavy barreled 308. My hunting rifle will be fine because of BDC reticle. Where I'm hunting 350 yards is a rare opportunity. Mostly under 100 yards. Selected 3 to 15 because of that. Have a 308 and a 7mm-08 for in the woods, and I'm going to go with an LPVO for that.

Very nice, best of luck in the field this year!

@cornpop7805 7 месяцев назад

Suffice it to say, hunters are generally shooting at shorter distances than long-distance target shooters. So, a hunter using MOA at 200yrds makes more sense than a PRC shooter at 1000yrd using MOA, due to it requiring more clicks than mrad.

@traceyevans2757 11 часов назад

The different between MOA and MRAD is 0.12”. MRAD makes more sense because, in the field, you can adjust quicker. No one will tell a difference between 0.12” at 100m or 0.25” at 200m. MRAD all the way

@kimberlycurrie9580 Год назад

#1. Don't mix MOA and MRAD (be sure the reticle and turret adjustments are both in one or the other) #2. If you hate the metric system, you're probably going to be more comfortable in MOA #3. If "inches" and "yards" confuse you, you are almost certainly going to be more comfortable in MRAD #4. If you are used to using "mils" in the military, you are already used to MRAD. #5. NEVER mix MOA and MRAD!!!

@SomeDude.1117 10 месяцев назад

MRAD can still just as easily be used with the imperial system (inches, etc). People tend to use metric with it because metric is Base 10, and that further simplifies it. But you do not have to use metric with an MRAD optic.

@charlesludwig9173 2 месяца назад

Do mix like Leupold Mk4 M3.

@traceyevans2757 11 часов назад

Yea your 2nd point is just stupid. MRAD, just like MOA, is simply an angular measure. They will both work with metric or freedom units of measure. Get some time behind the scope before you post dumb comments

@russellgavin1820 Год назад

The language point is the most important in this episode shoot like scopes as your friends

@Auto-Tech-Matt Год назад

Makes it much easier when my brother is spotting for me in mills and I'm shooting in moa. 😂 once we figured that out I got my scope dialed in and was hitting steel out at 1000 yards.

@Auto-Tech-Matt Год назад

But I prefer mills but I just had the old moa scope laying around so I slapped it on the new prs rig until I got my new optic.

@christoFlair777 11 месяцев назад

Nice lesson. Would like to see a more visual explanation 🤓

@nicholasprachyl8896 8 месяцев назад

This debate always involves bias and trying to over complicate the other. Keep it simple, if you take away the unit or name…. At 100yrds One click on one =.25” while the other =.36”. Move the turret accordingly. The MOA is more precise, however, the MRAD has less turret travel to get to greater distances

@WesternReloader 3 месяца назад

Buy both, learn both, get a second focal plane in moa to harvest game. Get a FFP in MRAD for target/ elr… if it’s beyond your capacity to become proficient in both, pick one and stick to it…

@brenn330 Год назад

Always MRAD

@mosinpro9130 Год назад

Lol no

If you can easily find a place to shoot- Mil. If you have trouble locating somewhere big enough to use your rifle- MOA.

@f14flyer11 10 месяцев назад

It is important to stress Mil Radians have nothing to do with the metric system. People get freaked out about that. It is a unit of measure just like MOA..

@TexasNationalist1836 9 месяцев назад

How do I use freedom units with MRAD

@tripplewhipper 7 месяцев назад

@@TexasNationalist1836there's an excellent video called understanding mils by the channel NSSF. Shouldn't be hard to find and it will likely be of use to you

@MikeHartIDMike 6 месяцев назад

Apart from its very definition and being in units of 10. 1M at 1 KM or 10 cm at 100M it has nothing to do with the metric system. Right.

@TexasNationalist1836 6 месяцев назад

@@MikeHartIDMike yes 1 tall yard is 1 mil at 1000 yards distance

@superseries7007 9 дней назад

Correct. It has nothing to do with the metric system.

@timscarbrough8931 10 месяцев назад

No 1 cuts their base board trim on the metric system in America. When they do.. mils will fly. The only reason the average American chooses mils is tactacool. Unless former military. Even though it is more simple in my mind.

@couespursuit7350 Год назад

So you are saying F-class, benchrest and silhouette are using MIL scopes?

@vortexedge4492 Год назад

No - that's a more niche area of the long range community, very specific in their requirements. Those shooters most often if not exclusively use MOA. Our Golden Eagle 15-60x52 Riflescope is specifically designed for that type of shooting and is only available in MOA.

@benkanobe7500 6 месяцев назад

Then, what are "clicks"? In movies they seem to be used for angular measure, distance in any direction, and time. What are "clicks"?

@TheClevelandStreamer69 5 месяцев назад

A military term which means 1 kilometer

@OriginalMusic1983 3 месяца назад

In reference to this video, a click means a single position Advance or Retreat of any of the turrets, which equals a 1/4 MOA or .1 mrad.

@davecarpenter7400 Год назад

Well said & taught. Common reference was: perhaps buy moa or Mrad scope based on what your friends use. (Correct) But I'd add that if you own several scopes, stay w that one type to save confusion.

@vortexedge4492 Год назад

Agree on this as well, but not all scopes come with the option for MRAD, especially with hunting driven optics.

@timscarbrough8931 10 месяцев назад

Forgot it Guys.. When an American no longer reads a tape measure in inches.. then mil will be wfo. Period..
