What does MOA reticle mean?
Minute of Angle
MOA stands for the Minute of Angle, which correlates to the minute hand of a 360-degree clock face. Each minute refers to 1/60th of a degree, similar to the minutes of an hour. When shooting, even a slight angle can cause you to miss the mark, so fine-tuning your MOA to the precise angle or “minute” is important.
What is the best size MOA?
The 3 MOA reticle size is the best option if your goal is to shoot more precisely. Aim small, miss small with the 3 MOA. A 3 MOA dot covers less of the target and is versatile enough to be used at varying distances— a great balance between precision and speed.
How many clicks is a MOA?
4 clicks
4 clicks on the scope equal 1 MOA. So, if every 4 clicks equals 1 MOA, you will need 5 of those 4 click adjustments, or 20 clicks total.
Is 3 MOA good for turkey hunting?
What Size MOA Reticle Do You Need? For turkey hunting, a 5 MOA reticle size is just fine, but if you’re looking for something a little more precise, you can go with a 3 MOA reticle. This is still large enough for quick target acquisition while turkey hunting, but it’s small enough for precision aiming too.
Are red dots good for turkey hunting?
Red dot sights are especially useful when turkey hunting because of their eye-relief (the distance the eye is from sight). In the instance when a turkey appears in a direction you were not aiming, you can easily swing your shotgun over and sight the turkey almost immediately, due to the near parallax-free design.
What is a 6 MOA reticle size?
By contrast, 6 MOA – another common reticle size – is 3 inches at 50 yards but 6 inches at 100 yards. 9 MOA is just under 1 inch at 10 yards, 4.5 inches at 50 yards and, obviously, 9 inches at 100 yards. Now, for defensive purposes, a 6 MOA dot is just fine; 3 inches at 50 yards is more than precise enough.
What is the SCR™ MOA reticle?
The SCR™ MOA reticle increases precision for long-range competition, and is now in use on several Burris riflescopes and spotting scopes in both illuminated and non-illuminated models. In illuminated models the extended illuminated center area lets you confidently engage targets in low light and shadows.
What is the difference between 3 MOA and 6 Moa?
When you look through the glass in your red dot sight, you will see the red dot reticle. When you aim that red dot at your target down range at 100 yards, a 3 MOA reticle will look like a 3-inch circle on the target while a 6 MOA reticle will look like a 6-inch circle on the target.
What is the ebr-7c MOA reticle based on?
The EBR-7C MOA reticle is based on minute-of-angle (MOA) subtensions. MOA measurements are based on degrees and minutes: 360 degrees in a circle, 60 minutes in a degree for a total of 21,600 minutes. These angular measurements are used to estimate range and correct for bullet trajectory drop in riflescopes.
