Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Optics Is your scope a handle?

I remember the instructors in Basic and AIT screaming that the M-16 did not have a MF'ing carry handle, that it was a rear sight housing. Those that chose to use it that way were vigorously and physically corrected. There was a strong emphasis on muzzle awareness and not flagging each other. To this day I find it difficult to hold any rifle in a similar fashion.

While moving I frequently use trekking poles and use a Kifaru gunbearer or sling my rifle. When stalking the rifle is in my hands.
