[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 1088761, member: 10291"] I can certainly undertand the viewpont of not going to the extemes of precision in mounting a scope to exacting alignment. I hunted and made successful shots for the bulk of my hunting life, just eyeballing my scopes. I will say that properly aligning a scope is not complicted or time consuming and can make a difference in accuracy particularly if you are using turrets to elevate. Once I got intrigued with shooting longer distances and got interested in developing the skills and equipment to successfully hunt game at long range my philosphy changed. While any one factor may not make a material differnce in results, when you begin to compound all the of the various factors, they can add up. Fine tuning to exactness whether it be scope alingment, handloads, bedding, ballistics, ect, does in my view effect the bility to consistenly take game at the mid to longer ranges. I would tend to guide the OP on his question based on his intentions with long range hunting. IMHO. [/QUOTE]
