Battue, a 60" chest is big, no doubt. My bud's that I describe above is well into the 52" + range. Mine is around 40"+... there are more than a few guys that have chest in the 36-38" range. Point is, that's a possible 24" difference in men's chest sizes. That's not taking neck and arm differences or further taking shooting styles into account (crawlers vs. non-crawlers), which introduces another "lot" of inches into the equation.

So yeah, it's not a very intelligent thing to question how one guy mounts a scope.

Group-think is a [bleep].
