[QUOTE="FEENIX, post: 1156893, member: 14204"] I totally agree, it should be both and complimentary, that's why I commented as ... This reminds me ... in the early 1990s while stationed at Davis-Monthan AFB, AZ, I was at then Tucson Rod and Gun Club doing my final sight in before the hunting season begins. I fired 3 each for 3 hunting rifles and packed it. While waiting for the range to be cleared safe so I can retrieve my targets, I was admiring the guy's set-up shooting next to me, IIRC it was a Blaser R8 (?) in .30-06 topped with S&B scope (don't remember the model); it was absolutely beautiful rig. Had about 10 minutes left so I started to watch him instead, he was obviously having trouble as he keeps adjusting his scope and shaking his head. I looked through my spotting scope and he was all over the place. I was surprised when he asked me if I wanted to shoot it but accepted without hesitation. :D As I try to get comfortable to take the shoot, I noticed that he went through a couple of boxes of factory ammo already, which explains why he was anticipating the recoil each time he pulls the trigger. I fired 3 rounds and they were all within 1 MOA at 100 yards. The best advise I can give him at the time was to pack it and try another day, needless to say, that was the last time I saw him. :rolleyes: [/QUOTE]
