I understand and have made the mistake with shotguns more than I would like to admit. Unfortunately.
Edge fill.
Anyway, with rifles I seem to be able to adapt within reason. Gun comes up and the picture is in the scope, along with a solid cheek contact. Combined with the fact a BG animal has a huge sweet spot to hit. Perhaps I'm wrong, but I've yet to miss and want to place the blame on a quarter inch or so of scope height.
It really is a fine rifle and I feel fortunate to have it come my way. Smith looked down the barrel with a scope and said it has been shot very little. Locking lugs are tight with no marks, along with the bolt face being void of any marks. Originall stock only had a couple scratches. About as new as you can get without being able to travel back in time. Looking forward to hunting it this season.
