Will do. The scope is on order, and the rifle for it is in the works.

Its a great system, FFP with MOA or MIL, if you learn to use the reticle to measure. It really improved my shooting and I could have never been competitive at PRS if I hadn't.
Cool. What scope you end up with again?
I went with the DNT TheOne 7x35x56 MIL, it looked decent for the money.
Yup it is. I have a couple on rifles I didn’t want to spend a lot on. You using rings or a mount? Reason I ask is that it has a little plug on the bottom so you need a higher mount around 1.26” of you go mount. Rings should work with 1.1” and higher.

Are angles measured in degrees? The value of the clicks in my scope are in degrees. But measured in inches. It seems simple to me.

I was going to use Burris Xtreme Signature Tactical rings with a Picatinny Rail. Either 1.25 or 1.50, I wasn't sure which one. That was the next thing for me to look into.
The 1.26” should work fine. I have one of mine in the same rings. Will try and get a pic later.
So your scope is not moa or mil? It’s a degree scope? What scope is it?

No they represent degrees. Come on, Let's talk about the "conservation of angular momentum" and how to make free energy from that action. That answer is simple.
The answer is simple but you are trying to make it more complicated to try and prove a point. Not going to play. You go have fun with your way. Not going to try and make your life easier anymore don’t worry. lol

"The idea of using magnetic fields to drive a continuous rotational engine is not impossible, but it's not a simple application of angular momentum conservation. It requires a more nuanced understanding of the forces and torques involved, as well as a mechanism to provide a continuous input of energy or external torque. While the principles of angular momentum and magnetic fields are fundamental to many engineering applications, creating a practical magnetic engine presents significant challenges." I'm not playing a game. I think we are very close and the answer is right in front of us. Doing this would make all our lives very simple. But the obstacles in front of us are political. I just see things from a different perspective. Thank you for trying to help.
And none of that has anything to do with a scope. Playing semantics. I know what I am trying to explain to you works from over 30 years of shooting long range rifles but if you don’t want to do it then don’t. Do your conversions and have fun.

Sorry, you are right. When you asked if my scope was a degree scope and not in moa or mils, well of course it is so I had to add they just represent degrees, I was getting tired. You are so convinced mils are for everyone, I needed to change to something more important to me. I should have just moved on. Sorry.
Where did I say mils were for everyone? I didn’t. I explained they both are angular and work the same but with different numbers. You can use an moa reticle to get corrections just like a mil scope. I have used both. Either will work and neither have anything to do with inches.

This is why I think MOA is better for any type of scoring, especially f class.
It's a finer adjustment. With 1/8 clicks, I can easily dial close. Then, given that I know the size of the scoring rings, hold off is easy.
Yep

They also make 0.05 mrad scopes, too. But the rings on NRA targets were definitely set-up for SFP scopes with MOA knobs.
That was my thinking as well. I'll find out soon enough.
