Thread: serious moa question

I've noticed this too with one of my rifles. It shoots about MOA at best (100y) when zeroing...but at 525y where I leave my steel plate set up, it often prints 0.5MOA groups on the gong.

I've just put it down to phycology, i.e. the rifle is a real hard kicker with no suppressor or brake fitted and I'm a tad recoil sensitive, so most likely I jerk the trigger in anticipation of getting booted by it. But at long range I seam to relax a lot more - not as much as hunting where you never feel the shot, but close to it...and that why I think my shooting sometime improves?

But my shooting is so poor at times its hard to draw serious conclusions from it as one day I think I could win the Olympics...the next I couldn't hit water if I fell out of a boat!
