[QUOTE="Bravo 4, post: 1937921, member: 8873"] I’m not going to speak for every military sniper but you have some good points. I drive my rifles and may stay behind them for extended periods. No way am I going to have to hold my head anywhere. If the rifle fits you correctly then you don’t have to, in about any position. I don’t force my head down, I just let it naturally sit. I think that different equipment and disciplines can do it differently. One of my guys shoots PRS competitively (and very well), but his rifle is 20’ish pounds chambered in a little 6mm thingy (😄). He free recoils that sucker. Very little movement and spots his own hits. Not as likely going to happen with a .300 WinMag that weighs several pounds less. I can spot my hits with a 12 pound .338 that sends 300 grain Bergers at 3150 fps. [/QUOTE]
