A quarter with a 98 Mauser? At 200 yards? You have GOT to be kidding.
Damien, I'll shoot with you for money. I might even travel to California to do it. Hope you don't mind me shooting a rifle made by this fellow...

It's single shot, weighs under 10.5 pounds, including scope, and discounting the shooter, it's capable of 1/10 MOA accuracy, assuming that the shooter hasn't bleeped up the barrel. Add in shooter error, and you can figure 0.17 to a quarter MOA.
I shot that rifle a LOT. Before I even TRIED to do the quarter I had put near 3K rounds down the barrel. I knew that rifle well. I don't have it anymore. The stock kinda blew up on me while shooting. A couple big chunks of wood went flying by my face and a HUGE crack was in the stock. I never did fix it and since sold it. Wish I hadn't, but I joined the Navy and had no safe place to store any of my firearms.
When I shot the quarter we taped it to a target, and put a VERY bright sticker directly over the quarter. The color contrast is what I went for. No way I could have seen the quarter at 100yrds without the sticker.
