Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between MIL and MOA turret adjustments?

MIL (Mil-Radian) is metric-based, typically with 0.1 MRAD adjustments per click. MOA (Minute of Angle) is imperial-based, often with 1/4 MOA adjustments per click. Understanding which system your optic uses is crucial for accurate shooting.

How do Accufire turrets compare to other brands like Sig Sauer?

According to firearms instructor Elliott Delp, Accufire turrets offer distinct and high-quality audible and tactile clicks, providing better feedback than some Sig Sauer optics tested.

What does '0.1 MRAD' mean for optic adjustments?

'0.1 MRAD' means that each click of the turret adjusts the point of impact by 0.1 Mil-Radian. This is a common increment for MIL-based systems, allowing for fine-tuning accuracy on your rifle.

Why is tactile and audible feedback important on rifle scope turrets?

Distinct tactile and audible clicks confirm each adjustment made to the scope turrets. This feedback helps ensure you've made the intended change, preventing errors during zeroing or field adjustments, especially in stressful situations.
