Answer: "MOA - Minute Of Angle. This is a mathematical term that by chance happens to be very useful for measuring accuracy of rifles/ammo. It represents 1" at 100 yards, 2" at 200 yards, 3" at 300 yards, etc etc. In reality it is actually 1.047197551" at 100 yards, but its close enough to 1" (1.145226878" at 100 meters, a little bit more then 1"). So if you have a rifle that will shoot 1 MOA, it should shoot (barring any wind or other funky atmosphereic effects) 1" groups at 100 yards, 2" groups at 200 yards, etc etc."

Answer: "Its really not that hard. Take an old set of BDU's or a flight suit, and attach some netting to the back side. I prefer about 1" square netting. You can sew it on by hand, or just use some shoe goo. Once its attached, cut yourself a bunch of strips of burlap (what ever colors match your area of operations) about 1" wide and between 12" - 24" long. Take those strips and tie them to the netting. Presto, you have a basic ghillie. Now use your imagination. I like to put canvas onto the front of the suit to re-enforce the spots that will wear out quickly from crawling, be sure to spray paint the shoe goo with a flat color to kill the shine. You can also attach pockets all over the place. Make some nice viels, or just make some high speed way of attaching natural veg. I also like to strip out the burlap so that I'm tieing on wads of burlap strings, its very labor intensive, but the results is nice. Like I said, use your imagination. Maybe I'll get around to actually having a Ghillie suit section on my page, but every other sniper page out there has one, and I wouldn't be able to offer anything you probably haven't already seen."

Answer: "Sorry, but there is no real answer to this question. There are a lot of excellent sniper rifles, but there is no cut and dry best rifle. Its more of a class that certain rifles make it in. At that point, its a matter of personal preference as to which rifle you like best, for me, its the Parker Hale Model 85, but I would never classify it as the best sniper rifle, only the best one for me."
