Videos tagged with MILs

This video by Ryan Cleckner, a former special operations sniper, explains the difference between True MILs and NATO MILs and provides a simplified conversion method for shooters. Cleckner emphasizes using 3.5 as a practical 'fudge factor' for quick mental calculations between MOA and MILs in the field, making long-range shooting adjustments more accessible.

This video by Ryan Cleckner, a former Special Operations Sniper and author of the Long Range Shooting Handbook, explains the differences between Minutes of Angle (MOA) and Milliradians (MILs/MRAD) for long-range shooting. Cleckner emphasizes that neither system is inherently superior, but rather a matter of preference and communication. He advises choosing the system used by your shooting partners for clarity and suggests MILs for beginners due to its base-10 mathematical simplicity. The video also debunks common misconceptions about the precision of MOA vs. MIL adjustments.

This video from 9-Hole Reviews discusses critical reticle considerations for precision carbine optics, focusing on mid-range engagements. It highlights three key functional elements: refined aiming solutions, fast and repeatable target reacquisition through recoil, and the ability to self-spot impacts. The discussion uses the Nightforce NX8 with Mil-XT and Leupold Mark 5 with PR2 reticles as comparative examples, emphasizing user preference in final selection.

This video likely delves into the comparison between Minute of Angle (MOA) and Milliradian (MRAD) as units of measurement for rifle scopes and ballistics. The creator is posing a question to the audience about their preference and usage, suggesting a discussion-based format or an evaluation of the pros and cons of each system. Expect explanations of how these units are used for aiming, adjusting optics, and calculating bullet drop or windage, with a focus on practical application for shooters.

This video reviews range cards and 'homework' tools from Walter Sobchak Security, designed to provide quick ballistic solutions in the field. The presenter highlights their utility for various shooting scenarios, from competition to hunting, especially when time or technology like laser rangefinders are limited. The tools offer reference for MOA/Mils, bullet drop, and range estimation using average object heights, with specialized versions for subsonic ammunition.

Ryan Cleckner, an expert in firearms, provides a comprehensive guide to understanding rifle scope reticles. He details the evolution from basic crosshairs to advanced designs like mill-dots and hash marks, explaining their utility for measurement and holdovers. Cleckner emphasizes matching reticle complexity and features to the intended application, whether for hunting or long-range precision shooting, and highlights the importance of First Focal Plane (FFP) for accurate reticle measurements at all magnifications. He also advises on aligning reticle measurement units (Mils or MOA) with scope turrets, recommending Mils for modern long-range applications.

This video announces an upcoming series of rifle shooting tips presented by former Army Ranger sniper team leader Ryan Cleckner. The series will cover rifle optics, mounting procedures, Mils, MOA, and range estimation. It also highlights Ryan Cleckner's book, 'Long Range Shooting Handbook: A Beginners Guide to Precision Rifle Shooting,' and his profession as a firearms attorney. The video encourages viewers to subscribe to the NSSF YouTube channel for updates and promotes various NSSF initiatives and resources.

This video reviews the Sig Sauer KILO5K Laser Rangefinder, highlighting its ability to provide immediate ballistic solutions. The reviewer explains that the device can range targets beyond 1000 yards and offers holdover data in Mils or MOA, taking factors like angle into account. It also supports waypoint dropping with the BaseMap App. The reviewer emphasizes its value for hunting by streamlining the process of acquiring a shooting solution, saving time and reducing the window between spotting game and taking a shot. The video also directs viewers to the creator's website for more content and products.

This video features Billy Leahy, a former USCG Precision Marksmanship Instructor, explaining the fundamental differences between Minute of Angle (MOA) and Miliradian (MILs) reticle systems used in long-range shooting. The discussion aims to educate viewers on these two common measurement units for scope reticles, helping them understand ballistics and aiming adjustments for precision rifle applications. The video encourages seeking professional instruction for safe and proper training.

This review covers the Sig Sauer Tango6T FDE optic, highlighting its adoption by the US military and its competitive price point under $1300. The scope features a 1-6x24mm magnification range, a second focal plane Hellfire reticle, and HD glass with full multi-coating. Key features include low-profile turrets with tactile, non-audible clicks (0.1 Mil adjustments), a locking illumination knob, fiber optic magnification indicators, and a submersible design up to 20 meters indefinitely. The reviewer emphasizes its clarity, durability, and suitability for both close-quarters and mid-range engagements.

This guide, presented by Larry Potterfield of MidwayUSA, details how to choose a rifle scope. It covers essential terminology like tube diameter, objective and ocular lenses, and adjustment dials. Key optical concepts such as eye relief, field of view, and exit pupil are explained, along with how to select magnification power based on hunting application. The guide also touches on reticle types, parallax adjustment, focal planes, and measurement units like MOA and Mils, providing a comprehensive overview for selecting the right optic.

This video, titled "400 Meters?", explores the concept of measuring distances in meters, particularly in a military context. The description highlights the conversion of 400 meters to approximately 437 yards and explains why meters are used for long-distance measurements like artillery, mentioning the use of mils.
