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!

    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…
  • @russellgavin1820
    The language point is the most important in this episode shoot like scopes as your friends
  • @cornpop7805
    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.
  • @kimberlycurrie9580
    #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!!!
  • @davecarpenter7400
    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.
  • @couespursuit7350
    So you are saying F-class, benchrest and silhouette are using MIL scopes?
  • @gschgvt2956
    If you can easily find a place to shoot- Mil. If you have trouble locating somewhere big enough to use your rifle- MOA.
  • @benkanobe7500
    Then, what are "clicks"? In movies they seem to be used for angular measure, distance in any direction, and time. What are "clicks"?
  • @timscarbrough8931
    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.
  • @f14flyer11
    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..
  • @nicholasprachyl8896
    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
  • @timscarbrough8931
    Forgot it Guys.. When an American no longer reads a tape measure in inches.. then mil will be wfo. Period..
