[QUOTE="revaeb, post: 361877, member: 23365"] I don't plan on sighting in at 100 yards then going out to kill a deer at 900. My undersanding of moa is that if I am under 1" groups at 100 yards then I am shooting sub moa. 2" at 200 3" at 300 etc. Which would put me at a 9" group at 900 yards(in a perfect world). Am I understanding correctly? I just want to see what me and the rifle will do at 100 yards and then move up to 900 yards. I plan on shooting a lot before I just head out to the hills. I knew the story about lobbing the hail mary shots would get you grumpy. Its not something I have a habit of doing. I'm not looking for a 900 yard shot, but would like to have confidence that if the right shot with the right situation presented itself, I could make it. I would much rather stalk up on it to 400 or 500 yards, but that doesn't always work in the superstition mountains in arizona where I hunt. Its hard to gauge antler size at that distance anyway, it was hard at 450! I enjoy long distance target shooting, and love hunting. Don't get me wrong. I am not going to take a shot that I don't think I can make. The 100 yards is just the starting point. Realisticly I probably won't be accurate enough to pull off more than a 600 yard shot, but I'd like to at least see. [/QUOTE]
