scope in mils- ??????

[hepburn45110]

I recieved a scope that is marked in mils. My question is: How many mils between my 100yd zero and an approximate 1000yd setting?

The number of mils between the 100 zero and 1000 yard desired zero depends upon your rifle's ballistics. Some mil scopes have a dots on the horizontal and verticle crosshairs that are 1 mil apart. I don't know what yours are, but the owners manual should tell you. A mil is approximately 3.44 moa (minutes of angle), the unit of marking common on most scopes. You need to read articles which go into more detail. Do a Google search on "shooting mils" for more information. A full description would give me typing cramps. The mil dots in scopes were originally put there for making range estimates to the target.

My 260ai with 140amax at 2880 was somewhere around 7.8 mils if i remember right at 1000. 3.5mils for 630 yards.
