Summary

Up North we love the card game of Euchre and no challenge is greater than “Going alone” without your partner across the table. In this episode, Jimmy takes a chance and “Goes alone” with Mark out of the office to discuss MOA vs. MRAD for beginners in 10 minutes. If you’ve been looking for your first optic or even have been shooting for quite some time but are caught up by modern scopes and all the extra choices to make between MOA and MRAD, give this podcast a listen to get your bearings. Bottom line – don’t make it more complicated than it is. In the end, regardless of what you choose, they’re both going to be doing the same thing and it really just comes down to your own personal preference of which form of angular measurement you want to live with. Got more thoughts on MOA vs. MRAD you’d like us to devote more time to? Let us know!

What's up everybody? We've got 10 minutes or should I say I've got 10 minutes to talk to you all about

0:05.0

MOA versus MRAAD. The reason I say that in my intro here is that my long-standing

cohort Mark is out on vacation currently.

Being that at the time of this recording,

So you got just me, Jimmy here, to explain to you

0:22.4

the differences.

0:23.6

And the reason we want to talk about this is

0:25.7

M-A versus Emrat is one of those things where,

0:28.0

you know, as if choosing a rifle scope

0:30.1

wasn't already complicated enough for you folks out there. You have magnification

0:35.0

ranges, you have objective sizes, illumination, first focal plane, second focal plane.

0:39.1

Once you finally feel like you've gotten it all figured out, you know exactly the scope

0:44.0

configuration that you want, you look at that configuration or somebody's talking to

0:48.4

you about it and then they say well do you want it an MOA versus M-RAN and I've seen a lot of people go into a deer in the headlights kind of

0:55.4

of mode there because now they finally sifted out all the different

0:59.4

magnification regions and all that stuff and they're actually literally looking

1:02.3

at the same

1:03.4

optic it everything is the same but there's just two different units of

1:07.7

measure in there it's much like in in many ways when you look at stuff

1:11.9

standard verse metric and measurements for linear

1:15.4

units of measurement. Why did the world need to make two? I wish I had a good answer for
