Thats better than losing it all I stick with forward and high when possible. Minimal shoulder lost and not as much neck as one would think.

I don't always have that option but when I do that's what I prefer. I like a base of the neck shot if I want to put one down right there. But I haven't had one go more than 50 yards aiming just behind shoulder mid height with 140 gr AB's out of my 280AI.

Always held zero My friend has money out the ass, could afford anything he wanted I had a Tasco World Class Plus 3-9x44 (not the same scope as the budget WC version) on my .30/06 for over 25 years and it never needed a rezero even after international flights. Moved it into an LR308 after that. Still holds zero and very clear optics. Great scope. When truth is ignored, it does not change an untruth from remaining a lie.
