Just so I'm clear -
1 minute of angle group translates to a 1" diameter group at 100 yards, measuring from center of hole to center of hole at the outmost shots...right? OK, actually 1.0471975807331" diameter but this has nothing to do with my question. Speaking strictly about the accuracy of the said "1 MOA" rifle, it is putting out 1/2MOA since the shot can go to either side of the direct line of fire...right? In other words, it only deviates 1/2MOA from the straight path.
SOOOOOO - Working backwards, if a particular rifle can AT BEST produce a 1" group at 100 yards, can a rifle manufacturer state that his/her rifle is 1/2 MOA accurate?
