[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 1207480, member: 30902"] Getting used to high mounted scopes on tactical rifles when you're used to being able to lay your cheek into the comb takes a lot of doing which is why you used to see a hell of a lot of 100mph tape over whatever we could find to pad and raise the comb... . gun) I killed my first deer when I was 8 shooting dad's forty year old Rem 760 pump 30-06with the original 4x weaver. He was convinced I was shooting a stump because he couldn't see the deer and he thought he was going to teach me a real lesson. Well of course it kicked like a mule flat knocking the snot out of me (I probably didn't weigh 75lbs yet) and I thought the impact between my head and the ground was going to be fatal but as sure as shoot'n in a couple of minutes I had my whits about me and took dad on a walk to show him my deer. About a hundred yards out he was trying to find the stump I killed but I kept walking and just shy of 300yds out sure enough he was laying their stone dead shot straight through the bottom of his heart. Another three inches low and I'd have been one disappointed kid but I'd held right on the top line of his back inline with the shoulder and elbow and got a solid hit. As soon as he got there and saw the deer he told me about the stump and the lesson he was going to teach me and it might have been the proudest I ever saw him in my entire life when he told my my first shot was more than twice as far as he'd ever managed to hit anything. Got the bloody cross on my forehead and ate fresh grilled backstrap that night and of course I'll never forget it. I'd spent three years shooting prairie dogs with an open sight Rem 572 .22 to get ready for that hunt and man did it ever pay off. [/QUOTE]
