Any good Mil/Mil scopes for F-Class?

[XTR]

It depends if you prefer American units of inches or European units of centimeters

Mils isn't metric in that it doesn't use cm or m, then again it doesn't use inches or feet either it uses 0.001 of the linear distance.

At 300 yards it = .3 yds and at 300m it = .3m, it's just that .3 yds doesn't translate to an easy conversion the way .3 meters does. So yes, at 300 meters = 30cm and at 300 yds it's .3 yards but we don't think in factions of a yard, so we want to convert it to a smaller unit, then you get that silly 3 feet per yard and 12 inches per foot conversion.... or 10.8".

Is the dollar metric? Maybe we should use the system from Harry Potter? 29 Knuts to the Sickle, 17 Sickles to the Galleon? Makes as much sense as 12" to the foot, 3 feet to the yard, 220 yards to the furlong, 8 furlongs to the mile, or 5280 feet if you prefer?

mil is not a measure of distance, it is a measure of angle. Mil is short for milliradians or one thousanth of a radian. Pi radians=180 degreees. At 100 meters, 1 mil subtends one cm so mils and meters are naturals

Yea, mils and MOA both measure the angle, and we convert it to the distance subtended by the angle, but we as shooters use the straight line between the reference points and not the distance of the arc that it actually subtends, but at the angles and distances we use it's not worth the effort to dissect it.

In this modern liberal age, we should be concerned for the inequality of our metric brothers and sisters and take a progressive view now that the new age of real democracy is with us.

How long should we continue to use metric calibres, and be forced to shoot on "imperial" targets? Even the name smacks of 19th Century thinking and colonisation!

In order to be fair to those with metric scopes, they should be allowed, nay, encouraged, to shoot on a recalibrated target, where the scoring rings are increased to coincide with radians, and as most of the scopes are only 25x, closer to the firing line.


Metric Lives Matter!

( No, not really, but between Biden and our bunch of gun confiscating loonies....)

Why would anyone go through the grief of trying to shoot any F - Class competition with a Mil-dot scope ? They made the MOA scopes to allow fine adjustments for the F target match-up , and unless you're a knowledgeably skilled shooter , there is very little , or no need at all to be "Holding off", with a MOA scope . There is however a virtual guarantee that you would be doing a certain amount of "Holding off" with a Mil-dot , due to the lesser amount of fine tuning ability of the scope . This ain't rocket science , guys .

It’s not rocket science to see this thread is almost 4 years old lol

And it's not rocket science to check and see that I wasn't the first "current" respondent , either .

Lol was fully aware only ONE was before you.
