This confusion between an inch and one MOA happens all the time. I mentioned here a few months ago that I had a custom 6.5-06 that would average 3 shots in 1/2 MOA out to 700 yards with the right load. Somebody immediately jumped on me, saying they'd never seen a rifle that would consistently shoot 1/2" groups at 700 yards.

I suspect the problem arises because so many people rarely shoot their rifles at anything except 100 yards.

Have even seen optics companies list the adjustments of the same model scopes as both 1/4" and 1/4 MOA in different places.
