So sighted in at 100 , scope x hair 4'' above centre of bore at 30mtrs , you will be well low

Thank god it wasn't a 270. Probably would have gone through, circled round, skinned and detusked it then dropped close to hand for reoading. Maybe. If that thud was a thunk, you have a dead...

Being a thermal the scope could be quite a bit higher above the bore (though still unlikely to mean a missed shot at 30m)
