I don't know that I have ever seen the term but precision is repeatability and accuracy is how close to a target you are. That is to say good groups are precision and a proper zero and good adjustments/data are accuracy.

Your question stumped me a little too because I have never heard those terms. In MOA you have two types: True MOA and Shooter's MOA. True MOA is 1.047" at 100yds vice Shooter's MOA which is 1" at 100yds. That has to do with how optical companies set up the optical adjustments. Then you have precision versus accuracy which I explained above.
If your gun shoots .3MOA groups it is precise. If it hits your exact point of aim and shoots .3MOA groups it is precise and accurate. If it shoots 2MOA it is not precise. If it shoots 2MOA and misses low it is neither precise or accurate. Dial it up to where you are hitting 2MOA but at point of aim and it is now accurate but not precise. If it shoots .3MOA but low it is precise but not accurate; in that case you dial your adjustment knobs for the appropriate correction and it is again precise and accurate. Tedious semantics I know but those are the correct use of the terms. Lots of people use them interchangeably but incorrectly.
I have never heard of precision MOA versus accuracy MOA. I am curious where the guy got those terms.
