gary.l 61 Posted December 4, 2013 Report Share Posted December 4, 2013 In laymans terms its an inch(1.047 inches to be exact) at 100yards 2inches at 200yards and so on and so on, if someone says they have a half minute rifle it means it'll shoot half an inch at 100yards an inch at 200yards and so on and so on Quote Link to post
charlie caller 3,654 Posted December 5, 2013 Report Share Posted December 5, 2013 Correct, so when Weatherby for instance, guarantee MOA accuracy from their rifles, they are saying as a minimum it will shoot a 1" group @ 100 yards. 1 Quote Link to post

Terra Firma 136 Posted December 5, 2013 Report Share Posted December 5, 2013 There's a good video on YouTube by a US marine sniper instructor explaining it all in good detail, I found it very helpful. Quote Link to post
