I have another thread going about poor grouping with my new Savage Long range Hunter 308 and this problem has made me aware that I do not have a clear understanding of the proper relationship between the cheek piece, scope mounting position w/ respect to eye relief, and sight picture.
This is the first rifle I've ever owned with a cheek piece and quite frankly I'm not real sure how I'm supposed to use it for maximum benefit - what is the ideal position to adjust to and how does this affect the mounting of the scope in terms of eye relief,etc.
In my current configuration I do find it to be a struggle to get a 'natural, relaxed' sight picture with good eye relief and be able to concentrate on my target/reticle cross hairs. Any standard recommendations would be appreciated and I apologize if I overlooked some thing that was presented in the 'guide line threads' at the beginning of this forum. Thanks, -Andy
