by the way paul, my rifle is an ultimate accuracy out of Kansas, from the research that I've done the guy isn't making them anymore. There are reports of 10,000+ rounds out of his rifles with good results. I only have about 100 rounds done range, so I should be good for a while.........
wanting to know what is easier to learn, MOA or MIL?

Are you planning on shooting Extreme Long Range with it, where it likes to be?
Do your friends or you have spotting scopes?
Scope ruggedness is something to really consider with the big bores, and there are 2 companies I would only look at for that, same as what I go to for gas guns.NRA Basic, Pistol, Rifle, Shotgun, RSO
CCW, CQM, DM, Long Range Rifle Instructor

Mdram, thanks for the link, good article. I have a couple places to shoot 800+ yards. I have a spotting scope, nothing fancy just power....
I have looked into 2 scopes that I think will handle the abuse, but being on a budget, is where I start having second thoughts. I have a friend that has a 4-14x50 Leupold. He does really well his set up.
Didn't really want to mention scope names on here as I was just wanting input to which would be easier to learn.....
As per the article and what LR1955 had mentioned, I believe I will go with MOA. I know guys on here that will probably argue that.... sometimes I like being different!!!!

Haven't heard that one before but it is correct. Lets say the drop between 200 and 300 is somewhere around 5 inches. 5 (inches) divided by 3 (00) = about 1 3/4 minutes. My come up between 200 and 300 for most High Power loads I use.
It isn't in 'clicks' though. It is in minutes. Or did I miss something?

The tables produced by popular and reputable ballistics programs permit the user a choice of Imperial or Metric. You decide what the output will be.
