hi everyone, im new here and have been reading all the good info for quite some time.
so i just shot my new 7mm rem mag the other day and have a question about the prone, rests and holds.
my rifle is the sendero, 26 inch heavy barrel, 7mm mag. im sure you guys know it.
its my biggest recoiling rifle iv had. i thought id try shooting off a pack and rear bag. but cant seem to get overly comftable. and find it hard to get a consistant repeatable hold.
i have been using my off hand to hold the forend of the stock.
with my small .17hmr i have a good position using my off hand to support the butt or rear bag and using a bipod. but of course this is low recoiling.
so, what does it take to do the same with the 7mm mag?
i feel as i need to hold the front down, and would expect to get hit in the head with the scope if i didnt.
the scope does have 3.8-4 inches of eye relief, and im sure iv seen pictures or clips of others doing it.
i dont have a break or suppressor. i dont mind the recoil, i guess its just a matter of trying to get the rifle to come straight back, instead of the muzzle wanting to lift, if your hand is off the forend.
so would you guys like to share some tips with me, or am i just over thinking this?
thanks for anything you would like to share.
