Thread: River to Ranges to sight in rifle?

As mentioned above, I have no doubt James does a great job & for a novice having trouble getting a rifle shooting well its probably $100 well spent, but no rifle will shoot the same POI between 2 different shooters, unless both shooters somehow happen to shoot said rifle from the exact same shooting position/grip & both have identical facial structure to give the same cheek weld (twins maybe? ) The difference in POI between James & yourself may be inconsequential at the distances you plan to shoot, but theres always a difference & this variable grows exponentially with distance. If you doubt this, Set your rifle up on something sturdy so it doesn't move, pointed at something close inside your house/shed, then look through your scope and move your head left to right / up and down without disturbing the rifle and see how much the crosshair moves around. Regardless of shooting experience, 2 shooters will shoot different POI due to where their eye ends up lining up with the crosshair when their cheek is against the stock.

My wife will consistently shoot groups with her 6.5 PRC just on 1.5 inches to the right at 100m compared to when i shoot it, both of us shooting from prone position with the same bipod/rear bag setup. If you are only shooting 100m then it wouldn't make much of a difference, but if she's shooting an animal at 500m, that 1.5 inches is now 7.5 inches right, not a, insignificant amount at that distance.
