Usually a bone stock, off-the-shelf hunting rifle will be 2 MOA accurate. 1 MOA is more often observed but 2 MOA is sufficiently accurate for most hunting needs.

Usually a bone stock, off-the-shelf hunting rifle will be 2 MOA accurate. 1 MOA is more often observed but 2 MOA is sufficiently accurate for most hunting needs. One of the things that has occurred over the past decades is the quality and It is possible to buy a hunting rifle with 1 MOA accuracy for under $1000 and ones with guaranteed accuracy or better for various price points north of that.
MOA stands for “minute of angle”. It translates roughly as 1 inch at 100 yards. The size of MOA in inches is a multiple of 100 yards. So 1 MOA at 200 yards is 2 inches, 5 inches at 500 yards, 10 inches at 1000 yards and so on. So knowing the range to the target and seeing/estimating how far the bullet impact deviates from the aim point you can calculate how many MOA to adjust the scope. This way the MOA calculation remains constant. Another system is done in “mils”, short for milliradians that 1 mil is 1cm at 100 meters. The technique used to adjust is the same just using different unit. Many shooters prefer mils because it uses divisions of ten. I can work in it but I prefer the old school MOA that is more common in recreational shooting and hunting.
