A bit of help for old fellas -MRAD

I recently came across a second hand scope in Vortex Viper 6-24X50 but it came without papers or directions :oops: Whereas all my scopes over the past 50 years or so show 1 click =1/8th " @ 100 yards or 1/4" @ 100 yards all this thing shows is 1 click = 0.1 MRAD. I don't savvie this MRAD stuff & would appreciate if anyone can give me the conversion equivalent or similar for this MRAD caper.
Thanks for any help

Barry

1 clicks is 1cm at 100m if it's in Mrad , some vortex are Mrad reticle and Moa adjustment which is confusing
1mrad is also 1m at 1000m if that helps

BP72 is spot on, it's just a different system of dividing up a circle.

moa based on one sixtieth of a degree
mrad based on 1/1000 of a radian (57.2958 degrees)

Thanks BP72 & Frakka - it sure does help So it's 1 cm for 1 click @ 100 yds. or even perhaps 0.36 of an inch also at 100 yards. Methinks I'll now go with the 1 cm. Appreciated , you've both just done your bit for us senior citizens. Regards, Barry

100m not yards is a 10% difference , it will add up as you go further out . It's hard swapping between Moa and Mrad
