Which is better for squirrel hunting mrad or moa or is it more of a preference since all shots will likely be well under 100yds with a m4 impact. 25 that I'm thinking about ordering specifically for squirrels? Thanks

I prefer mil for airguns simply because I have spent so much time with it and already instinctively know the holdovers needed for the pellets and speeds that I typically use, and these holdovers also typically happen to be fairly even numbers in mil. With my typical ~20/30yd 1st and 2nd zeros, 15yd/40yds are 0.5 mil holdover, 50yd is 1.0 mil, and 10yd/60yd is 2.0 mil. And that's about the max range I plan to shoot when hunting. With a FFP scope and mil reticle it's just too easy. And that's most of my hunting/pesting airguns shooting .22 , 16gn at 880-900fps. It all just fits nicely. With MOA the holdover numbers get a bit more messy and harder to remember.
However, MOA reticles do tend to offer higher division resolution than the mil reticles in the same scopes. Meaning they have more divisions in the same amount of space, so some people may like this. But that's really the only potential benefit that I see.

Turret accuracy and repeatability are far more important to me than what language the turrets speak, as long as it’s the same language the reticle is using.
I’m not Ted, so I don’t use holdover much. I could go completely without any markings on the x-axis, but I need good info, whether in MOA or Mil, on the y-axis.
Dial for range, hold for wind.

When shooting with my friend that has mrad scopes I notice he can dial for a much longer range than I can with my moa scopes on just one revolution of the elevation knob.

Many threads get stupid as each participant is throwing in his own perception of the subject at hand. Also, here are some misconceptions and half-truths in the mix. If participants watched all three videos in this series some of that misconceptions could be avoided.

I’m curious. What benefit do you notice from having mismatch turrets and reticles? Up until a couple years ago mismatched scopes were all I knew and when finally got a scope that matched and learned how to use it, I loved it. It just makes things like a one shot zero so easy.
