Yupp, unless you try to range with the reticle, MIL and MOA are very very similar.
Three small, very small differences are:
1/4 MOA clicks have a slighly finer gradation than 0.1 MIL clicks.
At 100y, it's only is a 0.098" (0.25cm) difference. And at 50y, the difference is even smaller, 0.055" (0.14cm) – that’s the thickness of three fingernails...!
My own shooting precision isn't anywhere near that, so that's not a decisive factor for me.
In my informal survey of scopes there seem to be more MIL than MOA scopes on the market that "qualify as airgun scopes", i.e., they have a 10y parallax, a holdoff reticle (not BDC or plain), and exposed turrets.
The MIL system uses smaller numbers than MOA. And the MIL system does not employ fractions.
âž” I personally find that easier to memorize and easier to communicate. Cf. the example below:
To answer to OP: Yes, if I get a really good deal on a scope that's MOA, or an otherwise "perfect for me scope" exists only in MOA, I'd go for it.
