Turn your MIL Reticle into an MOA Reticle

[@JM10344]

Wow. I put all this info into play . So amazing. I have learned so much. Putting this into a ballistic calculator , I am hitting spot on every time at all distances with SFP. Now for the Fx and Airforce I of course, put your Element Optics FFP on. Amazing thanks to all you have done. I am at the point I always strive for. Thank you sincerely.

[@juwind78]

Thank you for the explanation and distinction between MOA and SMOA.

[@MrRdvs87]

I’ve been shooting since I was 6 and zeroing my own scopes since about 15 and I’ve been fine doing adjustments in MOA, but struggled yesterday with my first mil scope ever. However, now I know that 10 clicks means a cm, or .39in at 100 yards. Definitely a learning experience and I will likely be buying only MOA scopes from now on.

[@jimsfunbirdhunting]

very good job Matt explain this for people that don't understand the power and all the info a scope provides...reminded me of one of my first shoot classes back in rhe day.

[@elite1299]

The ideas and suggestions of innovative,You are the kind of pro that makes shooting a great skill to learn. Thank you for your excellent suggestions and videos.

[@johnnybarbar7435]

Matt, I find that is is easiest to mark a sheet of paper with heavy black marker at measured intervals and adjust the scope from 100 yds until the reticle subtends the exact increment I require. Works great with my three Leupold scopes. During deer season I set the thick posts to subtend "deer chest" so if the deer is at 200 yds, the chest covers 1/2 post to post or crosshair to one post. Makes for very quick point blank to 200 yd shots and beyond that can be lasered if the situation allows.

[@JM10344]

Great video. Where did all the comments go??? People don't revisit topics. No wonder I was bad at school. I definitely have to hear it twice to resonate.

[@JM10344]

This video explains why for so long things weren't adding up. My shooting has improved over the last few yrs sence watching this video.

[@qwertyq4042]

I just got the hw100 kt in .22 and you've taught me how to really shoot the gun. Can't thank you and Ted enough!

[@coolnikish]

lots of you-tuber use giveaways, but in here you deserve a giveaway.you impress each time you touch on technical with such simplicity.

[@AirArmsHuntingSA]

+coolnikish Thanks, much appreciated!

[@bako1208]

I always wondered why some scopes have 8.6 on the magnification dial. It was such an oddball setting I knew there had to be a reason for it but I never would have guessed this.

[@handlebars5964]

Great video! I have such a bad case of the dumb that I need to keep things very simple so... if 1 Mil = 3.44 MOA (let's say 3.5 to keep it simple enough for me) and i have 1/4 MOA adjustments on my turret then that means 1 MIL is 3.5 x 4 clicks. That is 14 clicks per Mil. Given that both MOA and Mil are angular measurements, magnification etc. doesn't matter, it's always 14 clicks per Mil. So if I'm shooting 2 Mil off then i dial in 28 clicks and job's a good 'un.

[@kturbo504]

I'm not the smartest chap in the world but this definitely sounds real accurate and simple. 👌🏾

[@airgundepot]

My head hurts, but in a good way. Lovely video Matt and well done. Love the knowledge you have!

[@richardjones7994]

Nah, my head just hurts.................................

[@ralstonraz]

Hahaha

[@ChuckinTV]

I never understood why they make scopes that have MOA dials and MIL reticles. I typically don't buy scopes with drop compensating reticles anyhow, but this video is pretty interesting. I actually learned a little something about MRADS which I had never looked into before.

[@tshooter4419]

matt, your the Man! Thanks for taking on the tough subjects!

[@JM10344]

Matt!!! You forgot to say Element Optics. Your scope brand. I'm just playing for the KZbin algorithm. You have not developed Element Optics yet. You have done so much. I also bought a few scopes from Element. Why trust. You pushed for better from so many I know you wouldn't put your name on junk.

[@hunter100t]

Used this method in the past but for live quarry I like to use bracketing its much easier once you get it right, I suppose its like range finding but just using the scope, never lets me down and like the method in the vid its just measuring different quarry between the mil dots to give you its range, its really very simple, but accurate in use. good vid though keep it up.

[@kturbo504]

Any links for a video description. I've very interested

[@EspoDesk]

Excellent work, as ever.

[@totherepublic358]

Very good idea! I feel pretty stupid that this didn't occur to me. I have even thought about re-labelling the turret markings and just accepting the error of individual clicks not aligning, but this is a simple and practical solution that works! I have a bunch of scopes that are decent optically and repeatable but I don't use because of this foolish design issue. Thanks! Great vid.

[@D148521]

Thanks for the great vid. I have a mil ret/moa turret scope, and this helps a lot. You have a new subscriber.

[@gilyost7744]

ALWAYS AMAZING!! TED HILIGHTED THE 3.6 IN INCREMENT EARLIER USING THE jSB TIN. BUT THIS CAPS IT ALL OFF

[@howdydoody30204b]

I wouldn't mind at all moving to mils and away from moa. I like precision and for things to make sense. My cheap range finder will switch from yards to meters easily, and I imaging that all others will, too.

[@carnivalassorted2486]

Hi matt... How will i know if my turrets ang reticle are in the same unit... My scope is VT-2 6-24X44 DISCOVERY SCOPE.. MY clicks is 1/8MOA You can see the reticle on strelok Can you help me out... Im trying to search for your video the one with How to estimate your target if you dont have a range finder something like that... Thank you so much more power godbless i learn a lot from you guys...

[@martinlindeque4074]

[@qwertyq4042]

[@theGermanPrintingNerd]

HI I only have the info for my Scope Click value: 1/4 inch @ 100 yards. but no idea exactly if I have a MOA or MIL

[@utubemaine3]

i think it is a SMOA if the click value is 1/4 inch @ 100 yds. A MOA would likely have a click value of 1/4 MOA @ 100 yds, like my Vortex Viper. I could be wrong. Any one know for sure?

[@flytelaw1]

Nice job Mat! I PM'd you some targets....maybe an a super imposed image for the systems at the various "intercept" points may be the final glue needed...Cheers, Chris

[@muratersin]

[@lacushua7289]

I like your videos, especially the technical videos. when will you continue the air gun ballistics 101 serious?

[@dnullify100]

So, If i'm looking for a new scope I'd Ideally want one that has turret increments that match the reticle. Can you do a video on how to figure out hold overs for a particular reticle and rifle? I've got an FX streamline currently with a hakwe airmax with a map6 reticle i really don't particularly care for right now. I'm thinking about replacing it but i'd like to learn how to use it in the meantime.

[@junkfingerjimmy]

Great video, I bought a sidewinder 6-24x56 sfp and just realized the turrets are moa and the Reticle is mill how stupid is this? I have this mounted on my Ruger Presision 300 win mag will this scope conflict make shooting at long range impossible?

[@longbowdt]

This is great information. Thanks for breaking it down so clearly. A special request. Can you review the Taipan Mutant bull pup ? thank you

[@harryswaney2591]

Got my FX Impact Today from Arizona Airguns, It looks nothing like the FX silver from the you tube reviews, why is this? Has the design changed that much? the gun is mostly black , except for the reciever part , that is also not a silver color, but a sort of tan. Also the case is just one long piece and the gun need not be taken apart to store it. the magazines are also different as they hold 18 .22 pellets . Dont know if the super size clip can be installed? Should I be dissapointed or not? Will decide this after I have had a chance to field test it myself. I hope it meets the high standards that you and others have given it, after all, this is a $2,000.00 dollar gun, and the Omega super charger Compressor was about the same. Looking forward to more of your videos, Thanks.

[@michup86]

I use Hawke 4-16x50 AO Sidewinder 30 SF Rifle Scope, Illuminated Mildot Reticle, 1/4 MOA, 30mm Tube. Documentation says it's MOA, nowhere it's mentioned in terms SMOA but it also says 1/4 MOA (1/4" click value @ 100 yds). This means it is a SMOA scope?

[@AirArmsHuntingSA]

+michup86 In my experience, Hawke sidewinders can be way off what they should be... You need to do a turret & reticle box test to see for yourself!

[@michup86]

AirArmsHuntingSA thanks for answer. I actually started to wonder why some scopes use mixed mildot reticle combined with moa turrets and it seems that reason behind it is that moa is more grainer then mildot - gives you smaller move on each click. 1/10 mildot is 0.36 inches at 100 yards. 1/4 moa is 0.26 inches at 100 yards or 0.25 with mentioned shooting moa.

[@irvin325]

Is the 3.44 MOA measurement at 100 yards or 100 meters?

[@jkg6211]

Meters

[@joselinares5569]

love your videos

[@warrenpearce8406]

I I got a Nikon Monarch 3 4-16x42 SFP with mildot reticle .... on the scope magnification there is a marking mil on it this is between 10x and 14x and it's recommended that one should put it on the mil magnificent... what does this mean for me when using the turrets

[@AprilLia-wz8fq]

Right!! Thanks Matt it helpfull

[@hgward]

Nice video. Convinced me to buy matching turrets and reticle scopes with a preference toward Milrad. Did I miss it or are you doing a review of your SWFA SS 16x? I can imagine this scope very good for bench shooting, but curious as to how it might be in the field on 50-100 meter shots off hand or field braced. Wondering if it might not be a little jumpy or have a severely truncated field of view. Best regards.

[@zephyrrubidge470]

Hey Matt i live in port elizabeth aswell and i have recenly started hunting small birds and i relly enjoy it and i actually got inspired by you. And i was thinking that we could do a colab

[@Physics072]

The easiest way to do this is the have a mildot scope and a MOA scope. Take the mildot scope and set it to the magnification where its correct (ie 12x) then put a target up like a grid target and have both scopes next to each other. Change the mag of the MOA scope so that its reticle marking are the same size as the mil scope. Once that is done yo can use the MOA scope as if its a mildot scope for hold overs. Can always do it the other way round. Using math should be more precise but you are assuming the scopes are made correctly. Most are not. I have a 6-24x scope where 24x is actually closer to a 14x. So one really needs to makes sure one scope is calibrated correctly. Do not assume that if its says 12x its really a 12x. Or assume that its mildot spacing is actually a true mildot at 12x. Many times it not. This will invoke errors in your math calculations.

[@orhaniscool9110]

hi Matt wath hapend to the airarms s510 extra fac 177

[@rkba4923]

Each 3/10ths MIL = 1 MOA. Or, each .10 MIL = 1/3rd MOA. Not exact but very close. Simple.

[@christopherfiorentino6552]

love the man cave

[@MrRockstar1968]

So if 1 MIL = 10cm at 100 metres, is 1 MIL actually 1 click mark on the turret or does 1 MIL = 10 clicks to the number 1 marker on the turret?

[@harryswaney2591]

I also bought an ATN X sight HD 3-12 day/ night, and it looks nothing like the one you have on your FX. Are these knock-offs or are there just that many differences out there on the market?

[@haileysmemories1576]

Its OK Matt, we Americans don’t fret about magnification so much. After all, if we want to shoot at a dialed in distance, we just grab one of our other rifles that is dialed into that distance. Maybe in a better caliber too.

[@lamby9653]

Hello, Matt. I think you've forgotten to link all the stuff in the description. Not to be annoying or something.

[@AirArmsHuntingSA]

+Nathan I think they are very different. It is also way more difficult to get a .22LR here

[@foxtales4809]

Can't remember the company, I believe one of them is onto this and marks the scope zoom accordingly.

[@johnshilling2221]

How about adjustments having a dual scale, like a speedometer does. Instead of miles / kilometers you can have MOA / MIL. Both on the same dials. No witchcraft involved here, either.

[@ibrahim00045]

hi sir let's strat the chapter

[@easternblocairguns2728]

I learned so much from this video! The most important thing I learned is to use FFP scope only!

[@ernestpena5391]

MOA is probably fustrating use but my math teacher always told me that the more place values it has the more accurate it is. So, the industry rounds it to nearest number to make it easier. 1 inch at hundred yards is just a lie; 1.047 sounds more like it but hoo knows how many more place values it has like ten of thousandths or hundred of thousandth. Numbers don't lie but people do. Therefore, Mil system is more better to use because, how the metric system works.

[@nsboost]

But… mrad and MOA has nothing to do with metric or imperial. It just so happens they can be related to one or the either. Ironically… MOA optics have a finer adjustment.

[@carlrobinson5096]

Alright dude found a uk airgun scope in FFP or SFP from falcon optics with Moa turrets and moa dot

[@rogerdebats8096]

Why would manufactures make a mixed unit scope. Simple. There are some very annoyingly informed youtubers (read "you") out there who would be very quick to point out that 10 or 20 clicks on the turret of their scope does not match the reticle. With missmatched reticle turret, no one is making those comparisons. And people aren't returning scopes that have inaccurate adjustments. Hard to tell when mismatched.

[@carnivalassorted2486]

Hi matt... I really like all your video... Can you help me in my reticle i dont know if its a moa or a mil.. I have a 6-24x44 sfir discovery scope... Can you perhaps give me the name of my reticle... I uploaded it in my channel maybe you can check it... Thank you more power

yes ....youre right .....but the reason you say that is .,....that almost nobody in the world except the us uses fractions ...because fractions are not precise in any respect .....its ok for wood work ...but in the metric its the same ....if youre talking about cutting wood down to 1 mm ....thats about 0.04 inch ...how excact do you need ....and for metal machining in a cnc machine ......its down to 0.01 mm....0.0004 inch ..... for scopes ...i take the short way ...i use a mil mil ffp scope and be fine all the way

[@viltur83]

true. the fraction system is more intuitive for the simple fractions, but ask a random person on the street, witch is bigger? 3/16" wrench or a 5/32" wrench. ill bet the answers will be 50/50 correct. in metric that question is (about rounded): witch is bigger? 5 wrench or 4 wrench. here they will say 99% correct but think it was a trick question because its to simple :) honestly i love the foot/inch when im gestamaiting where +/-30% dosint matter. but when consistency maters and/or math is part of it the metric system has no real rival
