Not necessarily. Depends on the individual and how the rifle fits him. And the eye relief on the scope.

One of these days I'm gonna draw a moose tag down here. Either that or bite the bullet and do an AK hunt.

Congrats muskeg, nice animal, great pics.


I've always used that rule of thumb, particularly with the bigger bores and of course with scopes with decent eye relief. I read it somewhere a long time ago and since using that technique, I've never had an issue, even with a 416 Rigby.

A good principle to guide me through life: “This is all I have come to expect, standard lackluster performance. Trust nothing, believe no one and realize it will only get worse…”
