Many hunters select their weapon of choice based on its reputation for accuracy. No rifle can boast perfect accuracy, but all gun manufacturers strive to minimize the potential for error. Accuracy is most commonly measured in terms of bullet trajectory, also referred to as minute of angle.

Minute of angle measures the exact amount, in degrees, that the bullets are tugged down from their original target. Gravity begins to affect a bullet’s path the instant it leaves the gun barrel.. However slightly, the bullets are being tugged down toward earth in a rainbow shape. One of the best ways to account for this is by using quality tactical rifle scopes.
