RE: Usually you can’t...if you CANT: Get a scope level
Cool, it's something that doesn't really matter too much until the range gets a little further out there so you've not come across it. I hope is all makes sense. Scope levels are reasonably cheap so it's an easy fix. (There's a right way to mount a scope level too, but YouTube will help with that.)
I will look into getting several. I added the scope rings to the 6.5mm Swede, so I should be able to manage the scope Vs Level. I had considered a Goniometer on the rifle, but the scope does that.
:)>Make sure you have a good bipod too...One needs to load the bipod generally, but not always. I free-recoil sometimes...Depends on the conditions, need for speed or what position I'm in...(Free-recoil is shooting with the butt-stock hardly touching the shoulder. Eliminates the chance for the body or breathing to influence the projectile.)
I liked the bipod loading, any chance of deflecting the bore that way?
The free recoil might be a little rough in the 300 WM. It has a 60 durometer recoil pad so it will spread out on the shoulder to lessen the single point recoil effects.
I do like the idea of reduced biologic effects.
:)>Mmm, I don't think...I've always had more success with loading it than not. I guess it's possible on certain rifle systems. I couldn't be certain though.
Free-recoil is a situation-specific thing I think, for me anyway. There's times when loading is important. By the way, I use Atlas Bipods. A good one is important.
Well, I know they recommend that the tube never touches the stock, so I glass bedded the Swede, the 300 WM was already floating.
I will look for the Atlas bipod.
It is 4 AM here, I am going to have to go to bed.
Be Blessed!
:)>Night, good chatting.
We are inverted time wise, LOL! I was talking to a guy in Kenya about the same time, really spanned the World yesterday....
:)>Yeah I know, one of us is up late, or early...It's good to be able to chat like that but sometimes makes for lack of sleep.
