Optics Guide 5/17 - MRAD vs MOA Scopes = Base 10 vs Binary?
Both measurements work. But which one is right for you? Hopefully today's discussion of milliradians vs minute-of-angle (MRAD vs MOA, MIL vs MOA) will point you in the right direction.

But the two units are even more different than that. If you like the base-ten counting system, you'll love Milliradians. If you prefer to subdivide, like computer language or music, you'll enjoy Minute of Arc (aka Minute of Angle).
