mill to moa

[Buco]

I have a 6-24x50mm IOR scope and I am wondering is the MP8 retule mills set up to be 1 mill = 3.44 MOA or is it 1 mill = 3.6 MOA? and if the 1 mill =3.44 MOA would the MOA value be 1 or is it 1.047?

Thanks for your help

First of all, your question seems too specific for an easy answer. From my feeble knowledge of quarter and third click target sights and DCRA target rifles - it all depends.

Every rifle's corrections are different based on barrel length and sight radius. The really clever shooters use bloop tubes (a falsie to extend the front end of the rifle) to lengthen the sight radius to some even mathematical value. I've never been such a good shot that I'd ever notice point zero four seven of an inch difference between clicks at any range.

My advice is to stop fretting about 1/20th of an inch and go shoot some bullseyes! If there is a difference, you probably wouldn't notice until you've fired that rifle and cranked the scope knobs a few hundred or thousand times.

A circle is 360 degrees and 6400 mils. You do the math.

I don't know anything about your scope. But having said that, I can tell you what the conversions ratio is. 1mil = 3.438 MOA and 1MOA = 0.29mils. There's nothing magical about it, just straigth mathematics.
