A Leupold MkIV Precision Riflescope affixed to the author’s personal sniper rifle.
When is comes to shooting a precision rifle or sniper rifle, a great deal of your discussion will be focused (no pun intended) on the sniper scope mounted atop the gun. It should be obvious to most readers that mounting a $100 scope onto a $1000 rifle is sophomoric, a waste of valuable potential and, frankly, the sign of an amateur shooter.
Nonetheless, even experienced riflemen run into some confusion regarding which windage and elevation adjustments are the most beneficial for long range shooting or sniping. For the longest time, precision riflescopes or sniper scopes were adjusted via a method we referred to as Minute of Angle or simply MOA.
From townhall.com/tipsheet:
Speaking from the East Room of the White House Wednesday afternoon, President Joe Biden re-introduced his extreme gun control agenda, advocating for a ban on modern sporting rifles and reminding lawful gun owners that the federal government has nuclear weapons.
"Those who say the blood of Patriots, you know, and all the stuff about how we’re gonna have to move against the government," Biden said. "If you think you need to have weapons to take on the government, you need F-15s and maybe some nuclear weapons."
