    Was a 223 I used, with scope set at 6X any more magnifcation the target shakes around mad women taking a dump. Key to it is, get on target and pull the trigger the longer you piss around the more you shake.
    Quiet offen when bench rest shooting, I move around aroud behind the scope to check out any paralax, close my eyes, the quick refocus then bang seems to work, remember watching a old boy watching his wife shoot 22 target --- that be a bad one & he was right so asked why, he replied your first vision on the sights/ target are your best, the longer you stain, old eyes especially the more off, you get. Interesting

    Go you! If you and Danny haven't got covid you should stand by for an All Blacks call up. They are going down like flies.

    Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing, and right-doing, there is a field. I will meet you there.

    I can confirm that @dannyb is a giant among men but then again I'm a massive 5'6" and 62kg and still outperform the other builders I work with who are 20+ years younger than me.
