MOA or MRAD - Which do you prefer, and why?

I started with MOA and I have no problem with it, the MOA system has a slight edge beyond 1000 m,but inside of that, there is no advantage. Stick with one system to avoid confusion,what was really annoying, a few years ago, and the manufacturers are finally getting on board, is they had mill reticles with MOA dials, what a pain in the ass that was. I only have one that is like that in my inventory and it’s a zombiemaxx, it is half MOA dial with mil system reticle ffs Leupold you should know better

I have a Nightforce like that. Mildlot reticle, MOA turrets.
 
I was scope shopping for a new LPVO (1-8X) and remarked that not a lot of offerings exist in MOA. Though I understand how MIL IS inherently easier, I myself think in imperial measurements. I cannot for the life of me see metric
I'm a carpenter and if you ask me to big something is I will tell you within the inch no problem. Has anyone here trained themselves to use MRAD instead or switched and had the same trouble?

I'm also a carpenter, trained in feet/inches and stuck there in Imperial measurements. So stuck I convert any architectural or commercial plans we get in metric, to Imperial. That said, I got my first MRad scope 2-3 years ago and the adjustment from MOA was effortless. Took about ten minutes and less than ten long range rounds before I knew I'd never go back to MOA. We never talk in feet, inches, MOA, anymore- except for group sizes- all our data and corrections are Mils.
 
About the only downside that I've noticed with MRAD scopes is that one click may be a bit on the coarse side, if trying to establish a dead on zero.
 
just two different languages, like french vs spanish. they both get the exact same things done. but if most of your friends spoke spanish, that prob is the language you should use/learn. if most of your squad mates have mil scopes and mil spotters, then you'd be better off getting a mil scope. so when they say you're a mil left, you can hold a mil right and get that hit.

moa v mil also doesn't matter if you're seeing your own shots. if you hit one hash mark to the left on one target, you know you have to hold one hash mark to the right on the next shot to center punch it. doesn't matter if that hash mark is a mil or moa.

if everyone has mil and you have moa, just ask your buddies to call shots in relation to the target (eg, half a target left) and that makes it easy to do corrections irrespective of which system you have.
