[QUOTE="Firearrow, post: 1062503, member: 18733"] I know there is a difference in the way a rifle reacts between small bore and large bore. So let's narrow this question down. You have your 300WM lined up on your target, bipod out, and a rear bag holds the rear of your rifle. You then position your self behind your rifle and inline with it and take your prone position. The dial up for your 750 yard shot is in and you will hold for your wind. You shoulder your rifle, level it, adjust your rifle for a natural point of aim on the target, relevel it, hold for the wind, settle on your target, start your breathing cycle, squeeze the trigger, and the shot is made. So here is the question. If everything was done right to make your shot, how should the rifle have reacted? By this I mean when looking through the scope at your target should the reticle have come straight up, or straight up and to the left off of the target? This is for a right handed shooter and a right twist barrel. [/QUOTE]
