MINI-14/30 M.O.A CLUB.
This Contest is to Qualify for Membership to the Mini-14/30 MOA Club. The rules are simple, but membership will be difficult. I don’t expect many members will qualify. Membership will only be for the best of the best. The best rifle’s shot by the best shooters.
As we all know the Mini isn’t noted for extreme accuracy. It will require you to do some tuning and/or modifications to your out of the box Mini. The Tips & Tricks section, and the Accurizing section can help you get the most out of your Mini. You will also have to hone your shooting skills. As with any sport, skills are developed by studying and practice. The very best in any sport are the ones that work at it the hardest.
RULES
1. Rifle - Only Ruger Mini-14 and Mini-30 Rifles will be used. No other rifle please!
A. Barrel/receiver must be “in” a stock.
B. Barrel cannot be clamped in a “vice” or similar clamping device.
C. Struts, stabelizers, shrouds, and similar devices that clamp the barrel, and are “part of the rifle” is okay.
2. Range - 100 yards or 91.4 meters, measured, not “gustimated“.
3. Target - We must all use the same target. No other target allowed. Since most mini scopes are not target scopes it will be permissable to use color or use white out for the colored center part of the target only.

4. Qualifying - 5 shots per target. Maximum shots allowed per sheet is 25.
A. 4 targets out of 5 on “same sheet” must have 5 shot groups that measure 1 MOA (1.049”) or less. The 5th group can be omitted. Each of the 4 targets group must have 1 MOA or less, not averaged. *See following post.
B. All groups will at least touch the black 1” ring and be contained in the 2“ ring.
C. Write group size of each group, and Date fired on target. Then post, and tell us a little about how you did it.
Misc: Type of sight, ammo, and modifications to your rifle is up to you. As with all our shooting contests you are on your Honor.
Most of us have shot that lucky group, even some sub MOA groups. It will take some work (well maybe a lot of work) to make it consistent. Custom barrels, and mini's with some sort of stabelizer/strut/shroud/tunner will have an advantage.
Members will be posted in a MOA Member's only sticky. I am working on giving members a special Avatar as a reward. So who will become the first member?
