Instead of that silliness, you could read it specifically as it pertains to rifles and scopes right here. http://forum.pafoa.org/optics-46/412...tml#post526235 . This is a sticky I wrote about mil-dots and reticles, but because I go into doping your scope and other things, there's a breakdown of MOA and Mils, and some of the basic understanding of them and how they correlate with each other. For those with questions, we can always get more in depth and explain those things later. For some of the beginners though, this is probably moving a bit fast for them. Oh, and most of us actually refer to it as Minute of Angle.
