[QUOTE="CAM, post: 182634, member: 330"] Captn C MOA = Minute Of Angle as you stated! There are 360 deg in a complete circle and 60 minutes to every deg. Also just for fun every minute has 60 seconds also. one of these minutes is where the term minute of angle comes from. MOA is a angular measurement and changes with distance. 1 MOA @ 100 yards = 1.047 inches 1 MOA @ 200 yards = 2.097 inches 1 MOA @ 500 yards = 5.235 inches 1 MOA @ 1K yards = 10.47 inches 3 MOA @ 100 yards = 3.141 inches 3 MOA @ 1K yards = 31.41 inches It is close to inches but not the same hope this helps, also check the search it's been explained lots of ways, maybe one of the old posts will help make it more clear. CAM CRAP EVEN DAVE TYPES FASTER THAN ME!!! [/QUOTE]
