Understanding MOA in Firearms and Optics

MOA stands for Minute of Angle. It is a unit of measurement used to express the angle of sight in firearms and optics. One minute of angle is equal to 1/60th of a degree.

For example, if a scope has a adjustment range of 100 minutes of angle, it means that the scope can adjust the point of impact by 100/60 = 1.67 degrees.

MOA is commonly used in the firearms industry because it is a more precise unit of measurement than degrees, and it allows for more accurate adjustments to be made to the point of impact.
