1 MOA ALL DAY LONG

Alright guys and girls, to time hit the range again. I'm bringing back this thread with primarily the same rules as last year. BillyDoubleU put a lot of work into putting this contest together and did a great job, so I'm re-using his post. The only changes this year are the unlimited class and the "Wall of Claim: A Call-out List."

This is the Official “How Good Are You” thread of AR15.com

What is it? It’s a challenge to all to prove how good you really are with a rifle! Not sometimes but consistently.

Keep it simple 5 shot groups, 5 groups per target

1 MOA = 100 Yards = 1.047"
––––––––-50 Yards = 0.5235"
––––––––-25 Yards = 0.26175"


Top 25 for each division

Separate list of 1 MOA shooters and a separate list for .5 MOA shooters.

REMEMBER this, all 5 groups of 5 shots must AVERAGE 1 MOA to make the list and claim the title of being a 1 MOA shooter.

Doing one .99" group and four 1.5" groups does not equal a 1 MOA shooter, it means you got lucky once and you are a 1.398 MOA shooter (assuming a 100 yard target)

This is a challenge but don't be afraid to try it out and post, every possible rifle style has been listed with a category and a distance. It's all in good fun and to be honest about your abilities.

With that in mind here are the rules.

1. ONE sheet of paper, 8.5”x11” preferred and it MUST HAVE ALL 5 targets.

Meaning 1 sheet of paper with FIVE targets. NO INDIVIDUAL TARGETS. THEY WILL NOT COUNT.


2. On that 1 sheet of paper with 5 targets you shoot 5 groups of 5 shots each. (In one day)


3. Each group is measured OUTSIDE GREASE RING TO OUTSIDE GREASE RING with calipers (preferred) or tape rule in inches. Then subtract the diameter of one bullet IE if your shooting a .223 and your 5 shot group measures 1.13" you will subtract 0.224" to get a group of 0.906". If you are shooting a .22lr you will subtract 0.223", for a 308 you will subtract 0.308" (Remember- the more precise your measurement the better)

Some common measurements:
.172" - .17 HMR
.223" - .22 Short, Long, Long Rifle
.224" - .223 Remington, .22 WMR, .22 Hornet
.243" - .243 Winchester
.284" - 7mm-08 Remington, 7mm Mag
.308" - .308 Winchester, .30-06, .300 Mag
.311" - 7.62x39 Soviet, .303 British
.338" - .338 Mag


4. NO MECHANICAL REST/SLED, NO VICE OR SIMILAR DEVICE THAT SUPPORTS THE ENITRE RIFLE, NO SHOOTING JACKETS, NO STRAPPING THE GUN INTO ANYTHING, NO LARGE REAR SANDBAG ** OR REST. SHOOTER MUST HAVE POSITIVE CONTROL OF RIFLE.

THE POINT IS TO SEE HOW GOOD YOU SHOOT, NOT HOW WELL YOU CAN MOUNT IT IN A MACHINE.


5. OK TO USE sandbag, rest, ruck, bipod, rock with a hat, sling etc. on forearm of the rifle.

**Will be OK to use a small rear sandbag (ie: sand sock or squeeze bag) or bean bag no bigger then a softball that must require constant hand pressure to maintain hold on target.

IE. Can NOT sandbag gun inplace. Shooter must maintain positive control of rifle.


6. Shooting position is up to you, sitting, standing, prone.


7. Posting: 1st picture of target with 5 groups of 5 shots each, next to them write down group size. 2nd picture with calipers (or tape rule) left in place over BEST group. 3rd picture of rifle and shooting setup (ie. Sandbag, prone and so on). Post all 3 pics and also type in the post your 5 group sizes and what the average is. IE. .99”, 1.5”, 1.5”, 1.5”, 1.5” add them up, equals 6.99” and divide by five. So 6.99/5 = 1.398”

You can use the MOA formula, either way I will check the math and post the MOA on the result list.

Also type up specs of your rifle and ammo IE. Rem 700 with 168gr Federal SMK or Colt AR15 18" with Wolf 55gr FMJ or AK with 125gr Hand Loads PLEASE INCLUDE AMMO USED

*** Please include result at the end of your post in the final format:

User_Name: Rifle Manufacturer and caliber - notable customizations- Scope- Ammo. Groups: 1"/2"/3"/4"/5" = avg. 3" = .287 MOA


8. In each division you can only have your name up once per gun. Meaning that if you shoot the Iron Sight 22lr with your 10/22 and average a 1.65” group and lets say place 4th. If you use that same gun and do worse, even if you would place better then someone else it will not count for your group. Best group counts.

Now if you then shoot Iron Sight 22lr with your M&P 15-22 and shoot better, say 1.25” average groups and place 2nd. Both that score and the 10/22 score will remain. Different guns will be allowed for different group rankings within a division. Best group counts.

This also goes for the 1 MOA list. Meaning only your best MOA will be ranked on the 1 MOA list BUT if you also shoot 1 MOA or less with a different rifle, that will also count and your name will be added to the list for each different rifle you shoot 1 MOA or less with.

9. Remember, this is NOT a Bullseye challenge, it's a Groups challenge.

10. Any and all ammo is fine I don't care if you use Factory loads or your super secret Hand Load that Moses gave you.

Nothing to win, just put up or shut up so no need lie on distance, we are all adults so honor system will be in effect!

MOA formula

How many MOA equal 2 inches at 200 yards?
(inches / yards) x 100 = MOA
(2 inches / 200 yards) x 100 = 1 MOA


ETA: I know this is in GD but please limit bullshit post. If it has nothing to do with this thread/challenge then please don't muck it up. And DON'T POST old targets, only post your results for this challenge.

Questions are cool, ask away.

Don't bother complaining about the rules, PUT UP OR SHUT UP! I don't care if your feeling get hurt because you can't use your precocious whatever it is. You have plenty of options.

This is to create as level a playing field as possible.

Tags and in's are fine!

This is for those that want to put up an honest effort and show what they can do!

UPDATE:

If you post a placeholder for a future attempt, be sure and notify me, or post an update when actually post your results.

If entries start coming in and you post your results back on an earlier page, I might miss it if you don't point it out.

WALL OF CLAIM

This post will serve as the place to call out anyone who publicly posts unsubstantiated claims of beyond MOA accuracy on AR15.com. If you attack someone's accuracy in a thread, say something along the lines of "I could do better than that with...." or "That group sucks", when it is a .5MOA group; or swear that you have a <.5 MOA off-the-shelf hunting rifle, this is where you prove it. If you post pictures in the original thread along with your claim, you won't be added.

If someone sees an accuracy claim made that qualifies a poster for this list, send me the user name, link to the thread, and the post number where the claim was made. If the post meets the requirements, the candidate and their claim will be added to the list.

If you happen to find yourself on this list, you can easily be removed by participating in the challenge, whether you prove your original claim or not.  

If there are extenuating circumstances (ie: you can't find ammo, you sold the rifle in question, etc.), your excuse will be posted along with the claim.

my spot, range day this weekend

Awesome cant wait to show my shotgun patterns

Sweet, I hope I can get my rifle built by then. Should be accurate as hell.








brb, gonna go polish my trigger bits.

If I can get time, my Sako TRG-22, Nightforce 5.5-22 and AAC Cyclone are going to be in on this.

In for pages of bragging, butthurt, bravado, and bans.

(Kramer)



I'm out...

lol i fail, I'm not even going to embarrass myself by trying.

This will be good!!

I didnt see a date/deadline.  Did I read it too fast?

In on 1 placeholder. MRAD shipping today!

Open ended for now. When you post your results, you get added to the list.

Interested. I may try and play.

Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile

in for a small bore and a bolt gun spot....... my M4 is minute of man only

Im in when I finally go back to the range.

Very nice!

I'll keep an eye on this and if I ever get back out I will give it a go!

This is an unforgiving challenge and that is why so few participated last time around. The internet is full of snipers until it's time to prove it.

Actually this idea came from a guy that came over from SnipersHide trying to get guys to compete in their MOA challenge. So I figured ARF should just have our own. Little history as to where this came from.

Props to Stantonizm for putting the time into doing it this time around. It can be time consuming

In on 1.

R.I.F.F.



HEY TRUTH . . . . LOOK UP ! !





 

I'm in. Is this for factory ammo or can we use reloads?

I recall your thread on this very topic from a few months ago.





 

Id be in if I had/could find any ammo...

Avatar fits

 

In!

If you're going to post up a useless wiseass remark you could atleast answer Thr question.

Hold this spot... right... here!

?

If I posted them as images, they wouldn't print the right size.

The links are to printable PDFs.

This looks fun!

Excellent!

Shame I don't own an MOA capable semi-auto.

May dust off the bolt gun for this if I get some time home though!

Tag. Hope to get out with the .308 rigs later this Summer.

That's all I have to use, my .308 bolt gun.

Imma go head and lay claim to the worst group evar.
Remember it's not bragging if you can do it.

planning this weekend's range day...

Yeah, when I did the original I had 22lr for cheapness... oh how times have changed

If you shoot, your score gets posted regardless, just not on the honorary MOA list.

Honestly, I think its good when there are results from more standard AR set-ups because it helps show the realistic accuracy potential from them.

I posted a 1.6 MOA average last year with my SPR.

I'll play! ...if I can find some dang time to get to the range...  I think I might be able to make the MOA club.

I'm in for rimfire class non-magnified optics 25 and 50 yards

cheapness? lol okay.

IN!

Will update this week/weekend

I'm in !

I'm just finishing an SPR-ish build, I may give this a shot.

In, if I can make time.

Im using steroids will my name get a *?

Yep. I won't be too picky though, as long as all groups are on one target.



There's a similar target with small BFL's. I prefer the BFL's over the diamonds, I just can't get the image from the pdf.

Oh I'm in on this one.


I've got some hand loads just begging to go down range.
