My favorite rifle for elk hunting is about 3 MOA. It's an open-sighted muzzleloader and the only reason it's my favorite is because I can hunt elk with it in September during the rut. Can't do that here with a centerfire rifle or a scope.
When I lived back east and hunted whitetails in the hardwoods I did fine with a .30-30 that was only slightly more accurate. Shots over 100 yards were very rare so 3 MOA was fine.
But it's entirely different out west. I've made a few shots I wouldn't even attempt with a four MOA rifle, lots of chances for long shots out west.
