Its a proven fact that many guys think they have sub moa rifles, when in fact, they dont. Shoot some 10 shot groups and get back to me on this.
It is perfectly acceptable to call a rifle moa if you qualify it with the number of shots. Many lighter hunting rifles will shoot moa for a 3 or 5 shot group, but start to walk a bit with the barrel heat induced by longer shot strings. To me this is perfectly acceptable for a big game hunting rifle. Now for varrmints or bench games a rifle that maintains moa over a longer string of shots would certainly be desirable. A ten shot moa group (no cooling in between shots) in a sub 8.5# hunting rifle is a fairly rare beast.
