rebelbanshee2 Posted October 27, 2004 Report Share Posted October 27, 2004 a minute as in 1/60 of a degree. if you do your sums one minute comes out to about 1 inch at 100yds. so if you shoot one minute of angle off over 100yds it will show up as 1 inch on the target Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TurbochargedOne Posted October 27, 2004 Report Share Posted October 27, 2004 Sorry! MOA or minute of angle is a term often used by shooters relating to sight adjustment or to explain bullet height in relation to the horizontal at various ranges. It is usually understood that one minute of angle is about one inch at 100 yards, roughly. True minute of angle is measured by first determining the minutes of angle in a circle. We know that a circle contains 360 degrees and that there are 60 minutes in each degree. The minutes of angle in a circle is 360 * 60 or 21,600. The circumference of a circle is 2 * p * R where R is the radius of the circle in inches. Hence, for any range R, a minute of angle equals 2 * 3.1416 * R divided by 21,600 or .000291 * R. So, if the range R is 100 yards, a minute of angle would be .000291 * 100 * 36 or 1.0476 inches. Because the distance covered at 100 yards is so close to being exactly 1 inch, the fraction is usually disregarded for range work, and we commonly say that a minute of change on the rear sight will move the point of impact 1-inch at 100 yards. If we were shooting at 1,000 yards, a minute of angle would cover .000291 * 1000 * 36 or 10.476 inches. The difference between the true minutes of angle and the rounded minutes of angle becomes greater as the range increases. Better? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oilsmoke Posted October 27, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2004 Tats Nice looking $5 I answer you pm here ok. It was bought. it's a Charles Daly Its a cheaper pistol but it well biult for the money it had lot of feature add in to start. Bevel mag hole lighten trigger & hammer, ext beaver tail ext slide lock and ambidextross Safety and few more I did install a Hogue Mono I love them hogue rubbers. It will swap parts with a kimber, Friends has on and we played around one night. Pretty tight barrel & lug also. But for 345 dollars + the 20 bucks i paid for the grip I think it was great purchase.

TurbochargedOne Posted October 27, 2004 Report Share Posted October 27, 2004 I've had a few 1911s of various makes. Sold them all but one, my Colt Delta Elite. No so much because I don't like 1911s, but because I just didn't really have a use for the .45acp anymore. Matter of fact, I sold ALL my .45s and .40s. (Even sold my Desert Eagle to buy my Banshee, but that's a different story). I retained one .357 magnum, my 9mms and the rest are 10mm Autos. The 10mm is just a far mroe versatile cartridge than the .45, so I liquidated them. It's far easier to make hits at longer distances with the 10mm and it will do everything from punch paper to hunt big game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Banshee~ Posted October 28, 2004 Report Share Posted October 28, 2004 Remember, we're talking about hitting a 6" wide post at 100 and 200 yards, NOT man-size targets. At just 25 yards, the front sight completely covers an 8" bullseye target. You can imagine what's it's like hitting a target just 6" wide at nearly 10 times that distance. We are also talking OFFHAND shooting, NO REST. You think your good?I can shoot a hole threw a dime at 100 yards with my Red Rider bb gun I got for Christmas.

TurbochargedOne Posted October 28, 2004 Report Share Posted October 28, 2004 (edited) We've actually done that...but with accurized AR15s. I also have a lever action .450 Marlin that shoot's the heads off of bolts at 100 yards...but it kicks slightly more.

rebelbanshee2 Posted October 28, 2004 Report Share Posted October 28, 2004 We've actually done that...but with accurized AR15s. I remember seeing pics somewhere of dimes people had put multiple holes in with ARs. It was pretty sweet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TurbochargedOne Posted October 28, 2004 Report Share Posted October 28, 2004 Yup, an accurized AR15 with proper ammunition will put mutiple rounds in the same hole. I had a factory Colt Accurized Elite AR15 that was a 1/4MOA gun at 100 yards with ammo it liked. Like an idiot, I sold the upper and the lower soon afterward. I also had a Bushmaster Varminter that I got on a trade deal that I sold without ever firing a shot, again...like an idiot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TurbochargedOne Posted October 29, 2004 Report Share Posted October 29, 2004 Very tempting. PM me a price on a "pre-ban" configuration Varminter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oilsmoke Posted October 29, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2004 why not a New Post Bans Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TurbochargedOne Posted October 29, 2004 Report Share Posted October 29, 2004 Because i'm sure that "post-ban" AR15s (as in the ones without the evil features) are still on dealers shelves. I know my local dealer has a few that are collecting dust. Who would want a Klinton era AR when it's perfectly legal to purchase a new AR15 with all the original goodies on it? Now, if I could pick up a "neutered" AR for substancially less than a new one, i'd go for it. But it would have to be for HUNDREDS less. I would then just add the features to the rifle at a savings.
