Ryan Cleckner, a former special operations sniper, explains that MOA and MILs (MRAD) are simply different units of angular measurement for rifle scopes. While neither is inherently superior, MILs are often recommended for new shooters due to their base-10 math. Cleckner emphasizes matching turret adjustments to reticle types and debunks myths about precision, showing that 0.25 MOA clicks can be finer than 0.1 MIL clicks.
