Rare is the man who, in a hunting situation, would fire from prone and choose a loop sling over a rest. Especially in order to take advantage of what this cartridge has to offer. It's a long range cartridge.


I suppose there is a point to be made by your comment? No one was talking about shooting positions while hunting till you brought it up, I merely brought up the loop sling to demonstrate the physics of recoil mangagement, not to reccomend its use in the field. Real riflemen know how to use one though, and a TAB or Ching is nearly as effective and a HELL of a lot faster than trying to shoot off of a pack, but I digress.....
