The first "high-end" scope I bought was my Burris XTR 312.
It was on offer and seemed to be good so I took a rather expensive punt. The Mil-dot version had been sold out by the time I had read up about them and so I got the remaining, slightly cheaper "Plex" reticle.
Now I have MOA 1/4 click turrets, but the Burris came with MRAD sleeves that you can use to replace the MOA graduated sleeves.
I had been toying with the idea of trying MRAD as a ranging method just because it seems simpler to do on the hoof. Right now I am at set ranges: 100m, 300m, but if I ever get my behind into gear and get my hunting permit, I will be in the great unknown!! There it seems that MRAD may have the edge, but here is the chink in the armour as I understand it.
Does using MRA effectively depend on some sort of graduated reticle?
In other words would my fairly featureless duplex reticle make MRAD useless?
