Off the shelf you can generally expect 1.5-2.5 MOA as a benchmark, depending on brand and even individual rifle.
And that’s still with a perfect shot in a controlled wind tunnel on a stationary bench rest.
I’m not sure what you mean by “zero his rifle”. Zero refers to “tuning” optics. The rifle will still be limited by its MOA limitations. If he didn’t zero his optics he could literally miss the broad side of a barn, even from 130 yards.
You can zero iron sites. The point is, if you zero your rifle, you should know where to aim to account for MOA. In other words, MOA should not matter if you know what you’re doing.
That was Americans vs Confederate traitors and the poor young men they convinced to kill and die for their cause.
I’m not a rifle expert, but that isn’t at all how error works. The MOA error in a rifle is shot to shot error. It isn’t a bias that you can account for, because it is the variability among a number of successive shots.
He was a member of a local sportsmans club with a high powered rifle range with a max distance of 187 yds.
So its plausible that he had practice at around that range.
Fucking cretins
I will only believe that if 51 former intelligence officials sign a statement to affirm that denial as The Truth.
A clusterfuck of incompetence, with a hint of the nefarious:
There are too many questions to this incident that need to be answered
i am sure there are more questions
Let’s make one thing clear from the start:
Donald Trump was the victim of a shooting in a country he has been inciting to violence for years. — Trump is neither a martyr nor a hero, he is a cause.
It’s been a while since I was taught all of this. Where I live you can’t buy an AR anymore and I didn’t have the chance to buy one before they changed the law. I was lucky to have a SWAT member instruct me but it was a while ago.
Let’s blame Trump for the assassination of Lincoln, JFK, MLK, RFK, and the attempts on Reagan and Teddy Roosevelt. Maybe we should blame him for the assassination of John Lennon, the attempt on Pope John Paul 2nd and Sandy Hook. Let’s not get into the violence in Chicago.
You need to bring something a little more than an Occupy Democrats facebook meme. Looks like you even typed it out instead of just posting the original format.
Trying to lay down the law with nothing but recycled said so.
What’s funny is that it’s his one and only post on this site.
That, and it requires you to completely ignore 10 years of violent rhetoric and villification.
Its exactly this type of crybaby belly aching that allows people to carry out heinous acts guilt free. Or even with a sense of righteous indignation.
What’s funny, I want to use the R word, is that if Trump is instigating violence, why would he be the target? If the idea is that Trump, and by extension his supporters, are violent then how do you explain him, and even them, being victims of violence from the other side. This assumes that the shooter was politically motivated but regardless, I think the point stands. It’s like Antifa fighting fascism by following the fascist handbook and trying to appear like the good guys. “But we’re ANTI fascists!”
Yeah, and thats exactly my point.
Like, the people calling everybody nazis sure are acting a lot like nazis! 
And shooting people can be justified purely by political affiliation.
Because they’re part of the problem.
Not “American” but definitely neighbor vs neighbor. Loyalist vs patriots. The revolution was very much a civil war.
Nothing like a little hypocrisy .
