On top of that, it is incredibly accurate. MOA is very ho-hum to a .460 Weatherby. My 5 shot groups have been as low as .6" at 100 yards in my prime.

Bet you shooting off a standing bench... grin

No. The truth is, I have never seen a stand up bench before.

Elmer Keith was a proponent of the standing bench for big guns. There are photos in his books.

The way Elk's bench is set up, seems he's more in an upright position relative to the butt stock, not too unlike a standing bench.

Benches where the shooter is crunched down, leaning way forward, isn't a good big boomer stance.

I got a set of long legs for my bench, just never set it up.
