Scope Choice?

[Mr Special]

Most of the workers at the ranges are more then willing to help you sight in. They could also offer tips on the flinching...

To get on target fast I have a tip, but you'll need an extra set of hands.

Take a shot about 25yrds at a full size rifle target. Don't take your eye off the target, an tell the other person to move the crosshairs, to the bullet hole. Your next shot should be pretty darn close to center.

Also try not to shot too many rounds through at a time. I usually shoot 3-6 rounds, then shoot my pistol or 22rifle for fun while waiting for the rifle to cool down a bit.. Plus it not to bad on your shoulder, with bigger rounds.

Good luck hunting

I am a big fan of Leupold. The are very dependable. I have had problems with Nikon and Cabelas brand. I use my scopes on shotguns with slugs and the recoil can be punishing to the point of knocking the insides of the scope loose. I also have Nikon binocs and they are not good.

I have not tried the Bushnell elite, but I know someone who has one and he likes it quite a bit.

No matter what you buy, make sure the warranty is good.

It still bugs me that I flinch as much as I do. I think going to a range and just getting additional practice would really help.

Here is a tip I picked up from The Assassin. "Pretend you are running (walking, sitting, whatever) along side of him. Then Slowly squeeze the tigger..."

Don't think about the gun going off or when it will go off. Just think about the object in the cross-hair and just squeeze the trigger. By the time your brain gets back to anticipating the shot, the shot is long gone and the bull has been hit. That is why I like smooth, crisp triggers.

Yeah, a poor trigger gives you a lot of time to consider what's coming at the end and makes it darn hard to keep the crosshairs in the 10-ring.
