1/4 MOA Challenge
- Thread starter maynard
- Start date
1 moa = 2.9089 centimeters at 100 meters.
X 3 = 8.73 centimeters
= 3.44"
So yes you are correct
300m
1moa = 3.44"
.5moa = 1.72"
.25moa = 0.86"
There.....I just gave the .25moa Factory rifles a better chance at a free day at the range.

I'd love to try, trouble is I'm just a few months from retirement and the cost of airfare from BC to the range would mean more months of slavery.
Several questions:
How close is the nearest airport and does Westjet land there ?
If so do they allow wicked accurate rifles on board ( not carry-on).
Ammo no problem...( Greyhound )
Would a matching pair of 64 yr. old eyes be up to the task....who knows ???

Unless something changed, WestJet lets you check any tools of the trade. I've used them on some BC hunts.
To all you guys jumping on maynard's bandwagon - who are these 1/4 moa shooters you're calling out? Post a quote from their thread.....or not.
Maynard's got a nice little challenge here to entice people to come out and shoot with the ORA on practice days - the rest of you are doing nothing more than trying to embarrass people.
This makes me want to run right out there:

More words of encouragement:
At least somebody got it right:
Pmt, I am not going to play little games by explaining my comments. They are just that, my opinions as everyone including yourself has yours.
He has asked those who have in the past stated that there factory rifle can shoot sub moa daily to prove it. I just voiced my opinion on the matter by agreeing.
The only person of late who I give due respect to is ATR Rick on going to the Rosebud Score shoot this past weekend and openly admitted he learned a lot about short range that he never knew. He saw the difference between a full out tactical and a full out BR rig.
That is a man.
Again JMO.

Just to massage my ego, what is a 3 shot 1/2" group at 300 yds. in MOA? I suck at math.

Tell the Greyhound staff that you want to ship ammunition,and watch their reaction.
Never had a problem with Greyhound before....mind you this was a few years ago and we all know things change.. eh ?

A short search netted these in a few minutes....not calling anyone out here but pmt did put up a challenge.
And if anyone is embarrassed...you can thank pmt1. http://www.canadiangunnutz.com/forum/showthread.php?t=478791

I was stopping at 3...but got carried away
I was going to make a smart ass comment like "it's a good start to a 1 1/2" 5 shot group" but I thought NAHHHHH....
The real answer to your question is.....
.5/3.00 = 0.1666666666666667moa

Westjet will let you carry ammo as well as your rig. Just check the restrictions on quanities, packaging, and declaration of Dangerous goods.

Because they are illegal for this type of competition .

I think anyone who shoots regularly will appreciate that 1/4 MOA at 300m is very, very, very hard to do. It requires a good rifle, good glass, good ammo and a good shooter to all be performing well on the given day. There is also a big difference between 1/4 or 1/2 or whatever MOA at 100m and maintaining that grouping at 300 - it ain't staight-line math that's for sure.
I'm sure we all get a bit irked at some of the posts ( see my post earlier tonight on the Black and Green Forum questioning claims that AR's can break 1/2 MOA without too much effort to see what I mean ) but, really, I think most people are just so excited that they had a great grouping that they want to post their success online and is there really a problem with that ? I know I have done so - the first time I put "5 inside a dime" with my TRG 22 I was over the moon. I'm still excited when, with that rifle, I do 5 shot groups in the .3's and want to tell other shooters as (for me at least) it requires concentration and for me to perform as well as I can. Can I do the same with my Savage 10FP in a Choate Stock ? Quite simply - NO, I cannot - looking thru my records here, the best I have done with that rifle is 1.305 at 300 yards (not meters) but I'm still pleased with that as it is sub half MOA with a relatively cheap rifle.
Do you all really want to be calling people out who have posted their possibly not to be repeated all time best groups ? Personally, I think it is in questionable taste and may reinforce a mistaken impression of precision shooters.
BTW - On Dec 5 last year at Mission Rod and Gun I shot a 0.372" (4 shot not 5 shot - long story) group with the TRG - have I repeated that ? Sadly, No but if I do I will feel OK about posting it on CGN as, in my fiftieth year I couldn't give a monkey's toss about being called on it - it will be what it will be but some newer shooters may feel reluctant to post their stuff for fear of 'calling out' which will be too bad.
