Not if you zero it using the sling...

But yeah, the CDL stock is thin, and a little flexy. I keep that in mind when shooting the CDL for sure and don't apply as much sling tension to that particular rifle . Two other rifles of mine, a .308 and a .300 WSM have much sturdier, thicker stocks that don't flex much. They work out better with the sling.

I was USMC, they pretty well beat sling use into us, and it took with me. Some tankers explained to me that they called us grunts "crunchies" which puzzled me until they told me it's from the popping sounds of helmets under the tank treads. Danged tankers anyway... grin
