Author Topic: Anyone see the show about the Ultimate Hunter (Read 608 times)

I was watching a hunting show today and CZ was on. The folks were saying that sometime in 06 CZ is coming out with a Ultimate Hunter that will be guaranteed MOA at 600 yards!!!

Anyone see that?

Anyone hear anything about these rifles?

Is MOA possible at 600 yards with a factory rifle?

Well the rifle might be capable but not 1 in 1000 shooters are so what difference does it make? How would you ever verify it?

People buy 4 wheel drive vehicles that never drive off pavement or in snow ( I am sure we can all think of many more examples) because someone cannot or will not use something has little to do with the bragging rights and prestige of owning it!

I agree GB.

In a real world situation no would could shoot that. I do have a thing for a accurate rifle. If the thing shoots well I will use it but if I can't get 1/2 MOA I hate to even try and use it to hunt.

I know MOA of deer is good enough but I just love the thought of stacking 5 shots on top of each other even though I couldn't do that in the field.

Just so you know, MOA at 600yds is no more accurate than MOA at 50yds, as far as the rifle itself is concerned. One MOA (minute of angle) is just a measurement of an angle (think of measuring an angle with a protractor) that equates pretty close to, but not exactly, one inch at 100yds. It's about half an inch at 50yds, and about six inches at 600yds. As has been said, though, it is a very rare shooter that has the equipment (wind flags, etc) and skill to read that equipment and shoot groups of less than one MOA out past 500yds.
