[QUOTE="kcebcj, post: 743588, member: 10391"] [I]Let's say at 500 yards the come up is 9.75 and with a 1/4 MOA scope you dial that. With a 1/2 MOA scope you dial 9.5 or 10 so you are off 1/4MOA which at 500 yards is about 1 1/4 inch and at 800 its about 2 inches. Any of that gets you into a 10 inch kill zone deer or elk and would take a coyote out. Might have a little trouble taking out a rock chuck though.[/I] [I]So for a large game "hunting" rifle 1/2 MOA is OK if shooting a accurate rifle but does have its limit.[/I] [/QUOTE]
