Thread: What exactly is a MOA rifle??

The reason why I asked @Maca49 is because if it shoots an 1" @ 100m it does matter to me because the majority of my shooting is vermin, not large game, so a genuine MOA rifle is a real asset - especially when shooting bunnies @ 200+ m.
There is a massive difference when a rifle will shoot a 3 shot MOA group once and one which will shoot a 5 shot MOA constantly.
@Savage1 and @rossi.45 - I tend to agree with you, if you cant repeat it then it's not really a measure of what the rifle can do so is it fair claiming that it can??

Yes has to be repeatable consistently.
5 shot groups are unreasonable out of largecaliber lightweight rifles tho especially when they generally have less than 5 shot mags so requiring a re position mid group.
