[QUOTE="User4302021, post: 1493870, member: 105322"] That math may very well be correct, I'll stipulate that. But it is irrelevent, he would have to have the muzzle already elevated at the time of cartridge ignition for that to be the cause. If his muzzle was pointed at the target upon ignition, the bullet exited the bore long before the butt had a chance to slip as much as 1/2 inch. If he holds the rifle that badly anyway, how did he ever get it to group in the first place? The worst parallax error I've ever seen amounted to 2 MOA. Even with parallax adjusted to 100 yards, it would not have accounted for this much error. If he can't tell his eye is 1/2 inch or more out of the eyebox and has scope shadows all around, how did he ever get it to group in the first place? (At 600 yds no less) It is a common error, it just has nothing to do with the situation the OP described, and again the effect is greatly overstated by you. I've shot from some pretty messed up positions, including rollover prone, shooting through a loop hole, with the rifle canted 90 degrees. The rifle slips on recoil, to be sure, but it doesn't have anywhere near the effect you are attributing to it. Yep, I'm pretty sure that is what I said, "feet" is definitely plural....we agree on that. LOL! You have no idea how hilarious that is. You made me smile!:) [/QUOTE]
