I was on the fence but an instructor at a shooting school that I highly regard said they use MOA at the school now but had used MIL in the past, that was good enough for me to tilt slightly in the direction of MOA.

As others have stated, dialing with dope cards, the come-up is just as easy with either although I've noticed that the MOAs are less finite, ie 3.1, 4.5, 7.5 vs 0.9, 1.3 or 2.2 for MIL if that makes any difference for people who need to wear glasses to read but don't have them handy for hunting/shooting.

I agree 257. It's a unit of measure. Get whatever one you feel best with. It don't make a bit of difference. I like mils, just since it is a 10 based system and I drag knuckles when I walk, but I can get along with either fine. Shooting is the difference, get to know either one or even both.
