This refers to the base being canted inorder to allow more verticle adjustment in the scope for long range shooting. Example I use a 20 MOA canted base on my rifles

Google is your friend

MOA=Minute of Angle

 

[jwp475]

A circle has 360 degrees in it, each degree is divided into 60 equal parts called a Minute Of Angle. One minute of angle (MOA) is one sixtieth of one degree

Basic description is 1 minute of angle (moa) = 1 inch at 100 yards or 10 inches at 1000.

1 MOA is 1.0472 inches per 100 yards this is important to remember. Example let's say that we need 20 MOA of vertical correction at 1000 yards this means 20 X 1.0472 X 10 = 209.44 inches of corection. If your scope acctualy adjusts in IPHY (inches per hundred yards) then we have corrected for only 200 inches of verticule correction at 1000 yards a difference of 9.44 inches a very significant amount IMHO

So your saying my nightforces adjust in .25moa per click not a true moa, correct? So when I use exbal it need's to be set on IPHY correct????

Sorry guys for not being more precise but I thought that sundance needed the quick and easy answer.

No I did not say that. Nightforce does indeed adjust in true MOA. What is being said is that not all scopes do and it is impartant to know that.

I have a Zeiss Conquest 6.5-20x50, does anyone know if this scope works in true MOA or IPHY? I read the book but don't remember it clearly defining the difference, but I do remember it referencing inches.
