[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1458633, member: 2736"] There are other problems that Many don't realize that happen to a scope that need to be addressed. Everyone knows that I like slow motion Videos and here is one that shows the importance of having enough clearance between the scope and the rifle. It also shows the importance of the mounting system for the scope. I see lots of offset bases and poor ring spacing in many of today's mounting systems. With bigger and heaver scopes, this becomes even more important. Here is a video of this problem and the effects. [MEDIA=youtube]jRMgBLoiNxE[/MEDIA] Here is another of how much a scope flexes shooting a 50 BMG [MEDIA=youtube]s5pVya7eask[/MEDIA] Clearance should not be a problem if the scope is well mounted and supported.
